Moifaa was a New Zealand-bred racehorse who won the 1904 Grand National by eight lengths.

[2][3] After winning the Grand National the 17 hand gelding was purchased for King Edward VII, but never won again and was soon thereafter retired to the hunting fields of Leicestershire.

[5][6][7] The popular story that Moifaa survived a shipwreck before winning the Grand National is not true.

Another contender in the 1904 Grand National, an Australian-bred gelding named Kiora, did survive a shipwreck off the coast of Cape Town in October 1899, where he was found standing on a rock near the site of the wreck.

Another horse on board named Chesney allegedly swam a great distance to shore.
