Manuel (1896–1900) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.

## Background

[edit]

He was foaled in Kentucky and was a bay colt sired by Bob Miles out of the mare Espanita (by Alarm). He is related through his grandsire to 1907 Derby winner Pink Star.[1] Manuel was bred by George James Long at his Louisville stud farm, Bashford Manor Stable.[2]

## Racing career

[edit]

Long retained ownership of Manuel throughout his two-year-old season, finally selling him in October 1898 to the Morris brothers for $15,000.[3] He won the 1899 Kentucky Derby in what was deemed a very uneventful race.[3] A few days after the Derby at Churchill Downs, Manuel injured his leg by stepping in a hole in the track which prompted his withdraw from racing for the rest of the season.[4]

## Retirement

[edit]

Manuel was sold to Frank Morel (through his agent J. Baker) as a four-year-old in October 1900 for $500 at the Morris Park sale.[5] Manuel only raced for two seasons[6] and did not produce any registered offspring.[7] A 1910 Daily Racing Form article states that he died shortly thereafter as a four-year-old.[8]
