won it with Broomspun in 1921. Despite his many victories in important races, it is for the performance of his horses in the Belmont Stakes that Rowe is most remembered. Between 1883 and 1913, he won the Belmont Stakes 8 times, more than any other trainer in history. One of those victories came in 1908 with a horse named Colin, who went unbeaten during his 15-race career. Rowe considered Colin to be the greatest horse he had ever trained. He once said that for his epitaph he wanted only these words: "He trained Colin." Legacy Following the formation of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1955, James Rowe Sr. was inducted posthumously. His son, James Jr., also had a very successful career as a trainer but died at age 42 of a heart attack.
