What is "owington"

Owington (foaled 6 February 1991) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed very good form as a juvenile, winning the Moet & Chandon Rennen in Germany and finishing a close second in the Middle Park Stakes. In the following season he was one of the leading sprinters in Europe, recording victories in the Duke of York Stakes, Cork and Orrery Stakes and July Cup. He remained in training in 1995 and ran well without winning. He was retired to stud in 1996 but died later that year.
