What do the Jerome Park Reservoir, the Belmont Stakes and Winston Churchill have in common?
The Jerome Park Reservoir lies on a site that was originally a thoroughbred racetrack where the Belmont Stakes was first run between 1866 and 1890. It was built by Leonard Jerome who partnered with financier August Belmont and others to build it in 1866. Then the city took over the land to create a new reservoir for the "New Aqueduct" [Croton Aqueduct].
Where does Churchill fit in? Was he a jockey maybe?
No, Leonard Jerome was his grandfather.
