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:
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
