Death of Manna
Manna, 1925 Derby winner—he gave Steve Donoghue his fourth win in five years—died on October 12 at Newmarket after breaking a blood vessel. Manna, owned by Mr H. E. Morriss, also won the Two Thousand Guineas in 1925. Donoghue described him as “probably the best Derby winner I rode.’’ Donoghue got his Derby “hattrick” in 1921,1922 and 1923 on Humorist, Captain Cuttie and Papyrus.
