My Emma (foaled 19 March 1993) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was lightly campaigned, making only eight racecourse appearances in three seasons. After finishing unplaced on her only start as a two-year-old she began her second season by finishing unplaced in the Lancashire Oaks before winning a minor race at Newmarket. She was then sent to France where she finished third in the Prix de Psyche before recording an upset win in the Group One Prix Vermeille. My Emma returned in 1997 and after finishing third on her seasonal debut she recorded a second Group One success in the Yorkshire Oaks. She was retired from racing at the end of the year and has had some success a broodmare.

My Emma is a bay mare with narrow white blaze bred in the United Kingdom by her owner Lord Matthews. She was sired by Marju, who won the St James's Palace Stakes and finished second in the Epsom Derby in 1991 before becoming a successful breeding stallion: his other offspring have included Viva Pataca, Soviet Song and Indigenous. My Emma's dam Pato was a moderate racehorse, winning four minor races from twenty-four starts between 1984 and 1986 but was better as a broodmare, producing Classic Cliche who won the St Leger in 1995 and the Ascot Gold Cup in the following year.

The filly was initially sent into training with Robert Williams but moved to the Chestnut Tree Stables of Rae Guest at Newmarket, Suffolk before her racing career began.
