Ellington (1853 – 1870) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1855 to 1856 he ran eleven times and won four races. A leading two-year-old in 1855 when his wins included the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster he won only one of his seven races the following year. That win however came in the Epsom Derby where his ability to handle soft ground proved to be decisive.
