Vain (1966–1991) was a champion Thoroughbred racehorse that dominated Australian sprint racing in the period 1968–70 when he won 12 of the 14 races he contested and ran second in the other two. He then went on to become a Leading sire in Australia. The chestnut colt was sired by the leading sire Wilkes (FR) and his dam Elated was by the good sire Orgoglio (GB) who sired 21 stakes winners that had 37 stakes-wins. Elated was a good racemare that won 10 races including 8 in Melbourne.
