Excerpt from April 21, 1937 Harness Horse:
The Thomas B. Hogan Stable, another member of the Florida contingent, laid over a day or two at Lexington to break the long ride from Longwood, to one of the Chicago tracks where the conditioning for the season's races will be finished. There are but two members of the stable Mazie 2:091/4 by Spencer 1:593/4-Spring Tide 2:171/4 by Etawah and Bob Truax a brother to Calumet Fingo p, 2:04 by Truax 2:031/2-Naughty Muriel by Peter June 2:04. Tom Hogan is one of the brightest examples of the tenacity of the love of a good horse. Some thirty years ago he was one of the caretakers in the George Castle's "Ten-Twenty-Thirty" stable as the theatrical magnates' stable was referred to along the Great Western Circuit and through long and late pilgrimages to southern fairs. Hogan not only gave expert care to William Mac p, 2:051/4 an angular, homely looking pacer but thoroughly game and able to pace over a stake and rider fence if necessary, but served as manager of the stable while on the road. Hogan also had the sort of temperament that suited the eccentric, sarcastic vaudeville theatre man, probably learning much of the managerial ability that took him to the Presidency of the Yellow Cab Company and a salary that has admitted of his racing his own stable for a decade. He has been prominent in every move made for the good of the harness horse around Chicago, and is held in highest esteem, by every one that has enjoyed his friendship for years and years.
