Sweet Catomine (foaled February 14, 2002) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. After finishing second on her racecourse debut as a two-year-old in July 2004, she emerged as the best juenile filly of her generation in the United States, winning the Del Mar Debutante Stakes, Oak Leaf Stakes and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies before being voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly. In the following spring she won the Santa Ysabel Stakes and Santa Anita Oaks and was considered a serious contender for the Kentucky Derby before finishing fifth in the Santa Anita Derby and was retired from racing shortly afterwards. Her run in the Santa Anita Derby was controversial as there were allegations that her connections had not been fully open about her training problems. The complaints were dismissed after a formal hearing by the local racing authority.

Sweet Catomine is a big, powerful bay mare bred in Kentucky by her owners Pam & Martin J. Wygod. She was sired by Storm Cat the Leading sire in North America in 1999 and 2000 whose other offspring included Aljabr, Cat Thief, Giant's Causeway, Hold That Tiger, One Cool Cat, Storm Flag Flying and Tabasco Cat. Sweet Catomine's dam Sweet Life, bred and owned by the Wygods, won four races and finished second in the Grade I Beverly Hills Handicap. She became a highly successful broodmare, later producing the Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Life Is Sweet. Like her dam, Sweet Catomine was sent into training with Julio Canani.
