Merman (foaled in Australia) (1892–1914) was a Thoroughbred racehorse, one of the finest racehorses in Colonial Australian racing history that raced in Europe. He won at distances from 5 furlongs (1,000 metres) to 21⁄2 miles (4,000 metres). In 2016 Merman was inducted to the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.[1]
