Charles Engelhard acquired a passion for horses and he purchased his first racehorse in South Africa in the late 1950s. Engelhard raced with outstanding worldwide success in the 1960's and owned a racing empire that included such standouts as Habitat, Hawaii, the great filly Rose Bowl and the legendary Nijinsky II, winner of the English Triple Crown in 1970, a feat which no other horse has since achieved. All told, he owned more than 300 horses and several horse farms and stables in New Jersey.
