Music Show (foaled 18 April 2007) is an Irish-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare, who was rated one of the best fillies of her generation in the world in 2010. She showed great promise as a two-year-old in 2009, when she won three of her four races including the Group Two Rockfel. In the following year, she performed consistently in the highest class, winning the Nell Gwyn Stakes and the Falmouth Stakes, as well as finishing second in the Prix Rothschild, third in the Irish 1000 Guineas and Matron Stakes and fourth in the Coronation Stakes and Sun Chariot Stakes. In the following year, she failed to reproduce her best form and was well-beaten in all five of her starts.
Music Show is a bay mare with no white markings bred in Ireland by the Darley Stud. She was sired by Noverre, a top-class miles who won the Sussex Stakes in 2001 and finished second or third in ten other Group One races. As a breeding stallion, his other good winners included Le Havre (winner of the Prix du Jockey Club), I'm A Dreamer (Beverly D. Stakes), Miss Lucifer (Challenge Stakes), Summit Surge (York Stakes) and Enora (Preis der Diana). Music Show's dam Dreamboat showed modest ability as a racehorse, winning one minor race at Redcar Racecourse in 1995. She was a granddaughter of the Canadian Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Kadar who was in turn a daughter of the outstanding Canadian racemare Square Angel whose other descendants included Swain and Fantastic Light.
