Jealousy (1854 – December 1868) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. She is best known for winning the Grand National Steeplechase in 1861. She also competed in the Grand National in 1859 and won the Doncaster Grand National Steeplechase that year. She was owned by Mr. Bayley and later J. Bennett and was trained by Charles Balchin.
Jealousy (who was originally called Relapse) was a bay filly foaled in 1854. She was sired by The Cure, who won the Champagne Stakes in 1843. As a sire he also produced the July Stakes winner Dictator and Ebor Handicap winners El Hakim and Underhand. Jealousy's dam was Jewess, a daughter of Jacques. She was trained by Charles Balchin.
In November 1858 Jealousy won a Hurdle race at Shrewsbury by one length from Wee Willie. Later in the month she won the Wellington Open Steeplechase at Wellington Racecourse, easily beating Young Magnet (second) and five others. On 2 March 1859 Jealousy carried 9 st 8 lb in the four-mile Grand National Steeplechase at Liverpool. The Brewer started the race as the favorite, priced at about 100/30, with Half Caste next at 100/15 and Jealousy third in the betting at about 9/1. With Jealousy being ridden by Joseph Kendall, the field started on their second attempt and Jealousy was positioned near the fore, but dropped back after the first fence. As the field turned onto the main racecourse, Jealousy was already well behind the leaders. She finished the race tailed-off, walking past the finish. Half Caste won the race by a neck from Jean du Quesne. At the York Steeplechase meeting she finished second in the Londesborough Great Handicap, one length behind winner Chance. In early May Jealousy started as the favourite for a Handicap Hurdle race at Manchester, but bolted and ended up finishing last. Later in May she won the Grand National Steeplechase at Doncaster by ten lengths from Omar Pacha.
