The Hawk (foaled 1918) was an exceptional New Zealand bred Thoroughbred racehorse.

He was by the good racehorse and great sire, Martian out of the unraced, Sparrow Hawk (GB) by Land League.

He won six of his ten races as a two-year-old and broke the Australasian record for six furlongs as a three-year-old in winning the Waterloo Stakes.

In the autumn of 1925 he returned to New Zealand to meet the great old champion Gloaming (then rising ten years old) in a match race in the Hawke's Bay J.D.

The event attracted many thousands of spectators to the Hastings Racecourse where, in the run to the line, Gloaming lengthened his stride to pass The Hawk and win by a length in record time.
