Persimmon 1893–1908 was a British thoroughbred race horse and sire, owned by the Prince of Wales. In a racing career that lasted from June 1895 to July 1897 he ran nine times and won seven races. His victories included the 1896 Epsom Derby, the St. Leger, the Ascot Gold Cup and the Eclipse Stakes. He was also notable for his rivalry with another English colt St. Frusquin, who inflicted his only two defeats. Persimmon died of a fractured pelvis at the age of fifteen in 1908 and his stuffed and mounted head is on display at the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket with a statue of Persimmon on display at Sandringham.
