Menifee (born 1996 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse that competed in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in 1999. His rivalry with Triple Crown contender Charismatic was compared at times with the rivalry between 1978 contenders Affirmed and Alydar, who won and placed (respectively) in all three races that year. He was trained by W. Elliott Walden, and ridden in all three races by Pat Day.
After winning the Blue Grass Stakes, Menifee placed second in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, both times behind Charismatic. He failed to place in the top three in the Belmont Stakes. The Belmont was the only time he did not have a top-three finish. Following the Triple Crown series in the summer of 1999, he won the Grade I Haskell Invitational Handicap at Monmouth Park, finished second in the Super Derby, and ran third in the Travers Stakes. He was retired from racing with 5 wins, 4 places and one show in 11 starts; two of those wins were as a two-year-old in 1998.
Menifee stood until recently at Stone Farm, where the ten-year-old son of Harlan commanded US $15,000 for a live cover breeding. But in October of 2006, it was announced that he's been sold to the Korean Racing Association to continue his stallion career.
