Jermyn’s Great Horse Allen Lowe Sets 2.12 Record in Boston
Walter Jermyn’s stallion Allen Lowe won four races in Boston Saturday with a time of 2.12 making him the fastest horse in Pennsylvania and a top bred son of Alcantara. Allen Lowe stands 15½ hands, bay in color with black points, bred at Lee Maas. His sire Alcantara fans the Hambletonian line through George Wilkes and Happy Medium. His dam Susie is by Happy Medium, dam of two trotters under 2.20, and his second dam by American Star also produced fast runners. Mr. Jermyn should be proud of such a horse.
