Islington (horse)
Islington (foaled 12 February 1999) is an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. In a racing career which lasted from August 2001 until November 2003 she won six of her fifteen races including four at Group One level. As a three-year-old she won the Musidora Stakes, and after disappointing in the Epsom Oaks, she returned to win the Nassau Stakes and the Yorkshire Oaks. At four she raced creditably against male opposition before returning to all-female competition to win a second Yorkshire Oaks and the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Despite racing only once in North America in 2003 she was voted American Champion Female Turf Horse at the Eclipse Awards.
==Background==
Islington is a bay mare with no white markings bred in County Meath by the Ballymacoll Stud. She was one of at least eight Group/Grade One winners sired by the fourteen time champion sire Sadler's Wells. Her dam Hellenic won the Yorkshire Oaks and the Ribblesdale Stakes as well as finishing second in the St Leger Stakes. She went on to become an outstanding broodmare, producing Greek Dance (Bayerisches Zuchtrennen), Mountain High (Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud) and New Morning (Brigadier Gerard Stakes).
Islington began racing in the colours of the Ballymacoll Stud's owner Arnold Weinstock. She was trained throughout her racing career by Michael Stoute at the Freemason Lodge stables in Newmarket and ridden in all of her races by Kieren Fallon. Islington had a nervous disposition and often sweated heavily before her races.
