Alice Springs (foaled 4 May 2013) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2015 she failed to win a group race but showed consistently high-class form, winning a valuable sales race, finishing second in the Silver Flash Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes and fourth in the Cheveley Park Stakes. In the following year she was beaten in her first four races but finished third in both the 1000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes. She then won three Group One races in her next four starts taking the Falmouth Stakes, Matron Stakes and Sun Chariot Stakes.
Alice Springs is chestnut filly with a white blaze and four white socks bred in Ireland by Lynch-Bages & Longfield Stud. She was sired by Galileo, who won the Derby, Irish Derby and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2001. Galileo is now one of the world's leading stallions and has been champion sire of Great Britain and Ireland five times. His other progeny include Cape Blanco, Frankel, Found, Nathaniel, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle, Ruler of the World and Minding. Alice Springs's dam Aleagueoftheirown showed limited racing ability, winning one race from twelve starts between 2006 and 2009. She was a grand-daughter of Optimistic Lass, who won the Nassau Stakes in 1984 and was the female-line ancestor of Golden Opinion and the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Samitar.
