Sharp Cat (1994–2008) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won fifteen of her twenty-two starts of which seven of her wins were Grade 1 events.
She was a daughter of the two-time leading sire in North America, Storm Cat, and out of Kentucky Broodmare of the Year, In Neon.
Sharp Cat was bred by John A. Franks, prepped by Kirkwood Stables, and sold for $900,000 at the 1996 Barretts March select juvenile sale to Saudi Arabia's Prince Ahmed bin Salman who raced her under his The Thoroughbred Corp. Sharp Cat was conditioned for racing from a base in California by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee D. Wayne Lukas who handled her in 1996 and 1997. Wally Dollase took over as her trainer in 1998.
In 1996, Sharp Cat won the Grades 1 Matron Stakes and Hollywood Starlet Stakes. She had three more Grade 1 wins at age three, capturing the 1997 Las Virgenes Stakes, Santa Anita Oaks, and Acorn Stakes. Among her other 1997 victories she won the mile and one sixteenth Santa Ysabel Stakes at Santa Anita Park while setting a new stakes record of 1:41.34 that still stands through 2010. On December 7, 1997, Sharp Cat won the Bayakoa Handicap in the first walkover in the history of Hollywood Park Racetrack. In a race that determined the winner of that year's American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly, she ran second to Ajina in the 1997 Breeders' Cup Distaff.
