The 1897 Grand National was the 59th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 26 March 1897.
Manifesto (foaled 1888) was a British National Hunt racehorse best known for winning the Aintree Grand National twice and running in the race a record eight times. He was instrumental in restoring the prestige and popularity to the Grand National as the race had been marred by corruption in previous years.
