Lyric Fantasy was an Irish-bred, British-trained champion Thoroughbred racehorse. She was named European Champion Two-Year-Old Filly at the 1992 Cartier Racing Awards, and was the highest rated filly in the International Classification. In her championship season Lyric Fantasy won five of her six races including the Group Three Queen Mary Stakes and the Newbury Sales Super Sprint. Her most notable win however, was in the Nunthorpe Stakes in which she became one of only three juveniles to win a Group One race in open-age competition. Her speed and diminutive stature led to her being nicknamed "The Pocket Rocket".
Lyric Fantasy, a small (often described as "tiny") bay filly, was sired by Tate Gallery out of the Auction Ring mare Flying Melody. She was bred in Ireland by the County Cork based Minch Bloosdtock.
Tate Gallery, who won the National Stakes as a two-year-old, was a full-brother to multiple champion sire Sadler's Wells. Lyric Fantasy was the best horse he sired before his death in 1990. Flying Melody was a successful racehorse who produced several other winners, most notably the European Champion Sprinter Royal Applause and the Dewhurst Stakes winner In Command. As a descendant of the broodmare Oola Hills, Lyric Fantasy was related to notable thoroughbreds including Park Top and Pappa Fourway.
