Alfred Hennen Morris

Alfred Hennen Morris (March 3, 1864 – July 9, 1959) was an American businessman politician, and racehorse owner/breeder.

His siblings included Dave Hennen Morris (1872–1944), the United States Ambassador to Belgium and Envoy to Luxembourg who married Alice Vanderbilt Shepard,[1] and Frances Isabel Morris, who married Lewis Cass Ledyard (1851–1932), the prominent attorney.

He was also appointed a school commissioner for Manhattan and The Bronx in 1900 by Mayor Robert Anderson Van Wyck.

Among their major racing wins were the 1898 Belmont Stakes with Bowling Brook, and the 1899 Kentucky Derby with Manuel.

When Philip J. Dwyer, treasurer of the Monmonth Park Association, resigned on August 3, 1893, Alfred Morris took over the management of the troubled racetrack.
