Joe Daniels (1869–1896) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and stallion who won the sixth Belmont Stakes in 1872. Bred in Kentucky, Joe Daniels won two stakes races as a two-year-old and then the Belmont as a three-year-old when he also won a number of other stakes races, and some match races in California. As a four-year-old, he won one further stakes race before retiring with a record of 29 starts for 16 wins. He sired two stakes winning horses during his breeding career.
Joe Daniels was sired by the imported stallion Australian and out of the mare Dolly Carter. She was by the imported stallion Glencoe out of the mare Mavis who was sired by Wagner. Joe Daniels was foaled in 1869 and was a chestnut stallion, bred by A. J. Alexander of Woodburn Stud in Kentucky. He was the second of three of Dolly Carter's stakes winning horses. Sanford, an 1865 stallion, won the 1869 Fordham Handicap and her 1875 filly won the 1877 Kentucky Stakes. Joe Daniels was one of 26 stakes winning foals sired by Australian.
As a two-year-old, Joe Daniels won the 1871 Nursery Handicap at Morris Park in New York, and the Central Stakes. His time for the 1 mile (1,600 meters) Nursery while carrying 100 pounds (45 kilograms) was 1 minute 53 seconds. He defeated Alarm (second) and Woodbine (third) to win $2,750 (about $55,000 today).
Joe Daniels won the sixth running of the Belmont Stakes in 1872 at Jerome Park Racetrack, carrying 110 pounds (50 kilograms), in 2 minutes 56.24 seconds, to win $4,500 (about $90,000 today). The race was run on June 1 over a distance of 1 5⁄8 miles (i.e. 13 furlongs (2,600 meters)) on a fast track. He finished 1 3⁄4 lengths in front of Meteor, with Shylock third. His jockey, James Rowe, Sr., later became a noted trainer. This was the second of three consecutive wins of the Belmont Stakes by David McDaniel as owner/trainer. He was successful in the 1871 event with Harry Bassett and later in 1873 with Springbok.
