Ellington was a distinguished dark bay racehorse, notable in the mid-19th century for his impressive performances on the racetrack. Born in 1853, Ellington quickly rose to prominence under the skilled guidance of his jockey, Tom Aldcroft, and the training expertise of John Scott, a renowned trainer of the era. His lineage traces back to some of the most esteemed bloodlines in Thoroughbred racing, which contributed to his exceptional abilities and competitive edge.

Ellington's most significant achievement came in 1856 when he triumphed in the Epsom Derby, one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. The victory at Epsom Downs solidified his reputation and showcased his remarkable speed, stamina, and racing prowess. The Derby win was particularly notable as it was achieved under challenging conditions, with Ellington overcoming a strong field of competitors to secure the coveted title.

Tom Aldcroft, the jockey who rode Ellington to his Derby victory, was a prominent figure in the racing community. His partnership with Ellington was marked by a deep understanding and synergy, which played a crucial role in the horse's success. Aldcroft's skillful riding and strategic acumen were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the race and guiding Ellington to victory.

Harry Hall, an acclaimed equine artist of the 19th century, immortalized Ellington in his artwork. Hall's depiction of Ellington with Tom Aldcroft up is celebrated for its accuracy and attention to detail, capturing the essence of the horse's strength and elegance. This artwork remains a valuable piece of racing history, offering a visual testament to Ellington's legacy.

Ellington's contributions to the world of horse racing extend beyond his victories on the track. His success helped to elevate the status of his lineage and left an indelible mark on the sport. Today, Ellington is remembered as one of the great racehorses of his time, a symbol of excellence and a benchmark for future generations in Thoroughbred racing.
