Hawaii (1964–1990) was a South African bred Thoroughbred racehorse who was a Champion at age two and three (Southern Hemisphere) in South Africa after which he was sent to race in the United States by owner Charles W. Engelhard, Jr. where he was voted the 1969 American Champion Turf Horse honors,[1] upstaging Fort Marcy who was American Grass Champion or co Champion in 1967, 1968 and 1970.[2] Among his wins in the United States was a track record setting performance in the mile-and-a-half Man o' War Stakes on turf at Belmont Park.[3] In South Africa he remains the only racehorse to have won all three Guineas staged in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Hawaii Stakes (Grade 2) run over 7 furlongs every first Saturday of March at Turffontein racecourse in South Africa is named after him.
