Africander (foaled 1900 in California) was an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse.
Africander was bred by James Ben Ali Haggin at his Rancho Del Paso horse farm near Sacramento. He was sired by Star Ruby, a son of Hampton, the 1877 Goodwood Cup winner and the British Champion sire of 1887. He was out of the mare, Afric Queen, whose sire was a Haggin import from Australia named Darebin who won the 1883 Sydney Cup. Africander was purchased by Julius Fleischmann.
On May 30, 1902, Africander won the Bedford Stakes at Gravesend Race Track. On June 28, 1902, he was sold for $10,000 to Charles F. Dwyer and Sim Deimel, who raced him under the name Hampton Stable. For his new owners, the colt lost his first few starts before winning a minor event at Brighton Beach Race Course. However, on July 29 at the same racetrack, he equaled the track record for five and a half furlongs with a time of 1:06 3-5 in winning the Winged Foot Handicap. After an unsuccessful month of August, on September 9 Africander was sold to F. C. McLewee & Co subject to a veterinary examination. Rejected as unsound, on the morning of September 20, Africander was again offered for sale but was bought back by his owners. That afternoon, he won the Holly Handicap at Gravesend Race Track.
