Milk It Mick (foaled 25 March 2001) is a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a juvenile in 2003 he was highly tried, running twelve times and winning five races including the Somerville Tattersall Stakes and the Dewhurst Stakes. In the same year he was placed in the Chesham Stakes, Washington Singer Stakes and Solario Stakes.
After failing to reproduce his form in the next two seasons and was sent to race in the United States. In 2006 he recorded his first win in almost two and a half years when he won the Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile Handicap. He produced several other good efforts in North America but his career was hampered by leg injury and he was retired in May 2007.
He returned to Europe and stood as a breeding stallion in the United Kingdom.
Milk It Mick is a bay horse standing 16.1 hands high with a white star and snip and a white sock on his left hind leg. He was bred in England by Yvette Dixon, the wife of his owner Paul J Dixon. He was named after a friend of the Dixon family who was "always milking it" - taking things to the extreme. The colt was sent into training with Jamie Osborne at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire.
Milk It Mick's sire Millkom was a top-class turf performer whose wins included the Grand Prix de Paris in 1994 and the Man o' War Stakes in 1995. As a breeding stallion his record was unremarkable, as he sired few other horses of any consequence. Lunar Music, the dam of Milk It Mick, was a sprinter who showed considerable durability, but little talent as she won three insignificant races (worth a grand total of £8.103) from thirty-four starts. Her granddam Be My Sweet was a half-sister to Gunner B and a close relative of the dual Cambridgeshire Handicap winner Sterope. As a descendant of the British broodmare York Gala (foaled in 1939) she was a more distant relative of Theatrical and Prince Royal.
