Manuella

Sire Line

Memnon, by Whisker

Manuella b f 1809 (Dick Andrews - Mandane, by Pot8os). Sire Line Eclipse. Family 11-g.

Bred in Yorkshire by Richard Watt of Bishop Burton, Manuella was a full sister to the St Leger winner Altisidora (ch f 1810) and a half sister to the Chester Cup winner Brutandorf (b c 1821 Blacklock) and the Doncaster Cup winner Lottery (br c 1820 Tramp).

Raced by W N W Hewitt, she ran unplaced in the Derby which was won by Mr Ladbroke's Octavius (br c 1809 Orville). Said to have been pulled in the Derby by her jockey, Sam Chifney Jr, Manuella won the Oaks Stakes the following day under William "Billy" Peirse, beating the Duke of Rutland's Elizabeth (br f 1809 Orville) and Lord Egremont's Sister to Castanea (b f 1809 Gohanna). However, her Oaks win was not enough to prevent the ruin of Mr Hewitt who, based on her trials, had backed her heavily in the Derby and he was reputed to have fled to France along with his family. She also ran unplaced in the St Leger won by Mr Robb's Otterington (b c 1809 Golumpus).

Back in the capable hands of Mr Watt she entered the stud, there producing Memnon (b c 1822 Whisker) who won the St Leger Stakes, the Champagne Stakes and the Ascot Gold Cup. Another son, Belshazzar (ch c 1830 Blacklock), sired the One Thousand Guineas winner Cara (b f 1836) before his export to America. Nearly all of Family 11-g traces to Manuella and she numbers the American triple crown winner and leading sire War Admiral (br c 1934 Man o' War) among her many distinguished descendants.
