Dwyer

104 Running on Monday, July 05, 2021

The DWYER is named for the Dwyer brothers, Mike and Phil. The Brooklyn wholesale meat distributors developed one of America’s greatest racing stables. Originally the Brooklyn Derby, the name of the race was changed to Dwyer in 1918. The 1920 renewal of The DWYER developed into a match race between the great Man o’ War and John P. Grier when other horses declined to face the issue. The event turned out to be the toughest race in the big chestnut’s career. The two raced as one for most of the 1 1/8-mile distance with John P. Grier getting in front at the eighth pole, only to have Man o’ War come on to win by more than a length. The DWYER was run at old Aqueduct 1918-55; at Jamaica in 1956 and 1959; and at Aqueduct 1960-74 and 1976. Run at 1 5/16 miles in 1925; 1 ½ miles 1926-34; 1 3/16 miles 1956-59; 1 ¼ miles 1940-55, and 1960-74; and 1 1/8 miles 1975-93 and in 2010. Run as the Dwyer Handicap 1957-78. In 1940, Snow Ridge finished first, but was disqualified. In 1992, Three Peat finished first but was disqualified and placed second.
