Springfield (1873–1898) was a successful English Thoroughbred racehorse that won 14 consecutive races and was a useful sire of the late 19th century.
He was the grandsire of two English Triple Crown winners: Galtee More, who was exported to Russia, and later Germany and Rock Sand, who was exported to the U.S. and in turn was the grandsire of Man o' War, widely considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time.
Following this Springfield then finished second in the Criterion Stakes defeated by a head from Clanronald and another second in the Dewhurst Stakes to the future Epsom Derby winner Kisber, These were the only times that he was defeated during his racing career,[2] Springfield was undefeated as a three-year-old, winning nine races, two of which were walk-overs.
In 1877 he was again undefeated in his five starts, which included victories in the Queen's Stand Plate, the July Cup.
His final race was the 1¼ mile Champion Stakes in which he defeated The Derby winner Silvio.
