Music Note (February 5, 2005, in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse sired by A.P. Indy and out of the Sadler's Wells mare Note Musicale. Music Note is owned by Godolphin Racing and is a Grade 1 winner for them.
Music Note was a finalist for the Eclipse Award's American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly in 2008.
In 2009, Music Note made her late debut in a disappointing finish, but later on in August came back into her own and won her fourth Grade I race over seven furlongs in the Ballerina Stakes over sprint sensation Indian Blessing. She then won her fifth Grade I race in early October, capturing the Beldame Stakes in a very game fashion.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or note:
“I cannot say what poetry is; I know that our sufferings and our concentrated joy, our states of plunging far and dark and turning to come back to the world—so that the moment of intense turning seems still and universal—all are here, in a music like the music of our time, like the hero and like the anonymous forgotten; and there is an exchange here in which our lives are met, and created.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
