Moses (1819-1835) was a British Thoroughbred owned by the Duke of York, and the second of six colts owned by the British Royal Family to win the Derby. Moses was active from 1822 to May 1823, winning four out of the five races he won. The Sporting Magazine called Moses “a trump” and one of the “first rate horses” of the era.
The Duke of York raced under “Mr. Greville”, having won the Derby in 1816 with his horse Prince Leopold.
Moses was retired after his only defeat, having sustained injuries and had limited success siring winners. He was sold to the Duke of Holstein and exported to Germany in 1830. He was sold again in 1836 and died shortly after.
