Virago (1851–1869) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. In a career which lasted from November 1853 to July 1855 she ran sixteen times and won eleven races. All but one of her victories came as a three-year-old in 1854 a year in which she dominated British racing winning major events at distances ranging from one mile to three miles. Her wins included the classic 1000 Guineas at Newmarket the Nassau Stakes and the Yorkshire Oaks against her own age and sex.
