Tobougg is a retired thoroughbred racehorse and active sire, who was bred in Ireland, but trained in England and Dubai during a racing career which lasted from 2000 to 2002. He was named European Champion Two-Year-Old Colt for 2000 at the Cartier Racing Awards. He was unbeaten in three starts in his championship season including two Group One races, the Prix de la Salamandre in France and the Dewhurst Stakes in England. He never won another race although he was placed in the Epsom Derby, the Champion Stakes and the Hong Kong Cup. He is currently (2012) at stud in Wiltshire.

Tobougg was bred in County Limerick, Ireland by the Citadel Stud. He was sired by the Sadler's Wells stallion Barathea (horse) out of the mare Lacovia. Barathea was a specialist miler who was named European Horse of the Year in 1994, a year in which he won the Breeders' Cup Mile. He became a successful stallion, siring the winners of over seven hundred races, although only seven of these were at Group One level. Lacovia was a highly successful racehorse who won the Prix Saint-Alary and the Prix de Diane in 1986.

Tobougg was sent as a yearling to the Tattersalls sales in September 1999 where he was bought for 230,000gns by John Ferguson Bloodstock on behalf of Ahmed Al Maktoum. Tobougg was sent into training with Mick Channon who handled him for his first season. He was then transferred to the Godolphin Racing team and trained for the rest of his career by Saeed bin Suroor.
