Hardy Campbell Sr. was involved in horse racing, and Hardy Jr. spent his life around and in the business. He became head stable lad for Dwyer Brothers Stable in Brooklyn, New York, one of the top racing operations in the United States. While working for the Dwyer stable, Hardy Campbell Jr. learned racehorse conditioning from future Hall of Fame trainers James G. Rowe Sr. and Frank McCabe. The Dwyer brothers racing partnership was dissolved in 1890 and Mike Dwyer offered Campbell the job of head trainer for his stable and for the next seven years the two met with considerable success.
In January 1895 a number of prominent Americans sent a stable of horses to compete in England. Mike Dwyer and Richard Croker, with whom Dwyer operated a racing partnership, also sent a stable of horses under the care of Campbell and jockey Willie Simms. The American trainer caused a sir among his English counterparts when he timed his horses' workouts, something that all race conditioners were then doing in North America and Australia.[4] In April 1895, Campbell and Simms won the Crawford Plate at Newmarket Racecourse with a horse name Utica who was renamed in England as Eau de Gallie. Although Hardy Campbell Jr. remained head trainer for Mike Dwyer throughout his short life, he only trained for Richard Croker until the Dwyer-Croker partnership was dissolved on May 17, 1895, in England.[5]
In early June 1898, the then thirty-four-year Campbell fell ill with pneumonia.[7] A husband and father of two, he died two weeks later on June 24. In their obituary, the New York Times called him "an excellent judge of horses" and that it was "due in a great measure to his ability as a trainer that M. F. Dwyer was so successful with his horses.[8][9]
A few months later his despondent sixty-year-old father, further distressed by a disagreement with a grandson over a horse owned by his son, attempted suicide.[10]
