Steinlen (1983 – 9 June 2001) was a Thoroughbred racehorse grass champion male. He was voted the American Champion Male Turf Horse for 1989 following his win in that year's Breeders' Cup Mile.
He was bred in the name of Allez France Stables, a nom de course for owner Daniel Wildenstein. Steinlen was a stakes winner in France prior to being sent to compete in the United States. Under trainer D. Wayne Lukas Steinlen won the important Arlington Million and Bernard Baruch Handicap leading up to his victory in the November 4, 1989 Breeders' Cup Mile.[1] He was retired with 20 wins from 45 starts and earnings of $3,297,169. He entered stud in 1996 at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Paris, Kentucky and was moved to Harris Farms in Coalinga, California.
Steinlen was humanely euthanised at age 18 in June 2001 after fracturing a rear leg in a paddock accident at Harris Farms.[2]
