Montrose (1884–1898) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that is best remembered for winning the 1887 Kentucky Derby. He was bred in Kentucky at Col. Milton Young's and purchased by the Labold brothers from Cincinnati, Ohio. Ridden by African American in the Derby, the colt was trained by former jockey John McGinty.[1] [2]
Montrose also won the Morrissey Stakes[3] and Great Western Handicap[4] when he was a four-year-old and won the Kearney Stakes run in Saratoga, New York as a five-year-old.[5] Montrose died on July 30, 1898, at the age of 14 years at the farm of Allen W. Thurman in Columbus, Ohio.[6]
