==Background==
Sophisticat was a dark bay or brown mare bred in Kentucky by Robert and Beverly Lewis. She was sired by Storm Cat, a high-class racehorse who won the Young America Stakes and finished second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile in 1985. He went on to become an exceptionally successful breeding stallion, and was the Leading sire in North America in 1999 and 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leading Sires of America )〕 The best of his progeny included Aljabr, Bluegrass Cat, Cat Thief, Forestry, Giant's Causeway, Hold That Tiger, Jalil, Life Is Sweet, One Cool Cat, Storm Flag Flying and Tabasco Cat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Storm Cat - Stud Record )〕 Sophisticat was the second foal of her dam Serena's Song an outstanding racemare who won eleven Grade I races and was voted American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly in 1995.
In July, the yearling filly was consigned by the Lewises to the Keeneland sale and was bought for $3.4 million by the bloodstock agent Dermot "Demi" O'Byrne,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Keeneland sale July 2000 )〕 acting on behalf of John Magnier's Coolmore organisation. She was sent to Europe and entered training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. Like many Coolmore horses, the details of Sophisticat's ownership varied for race to race: she was sometimes listed as the property of Michael Tabor, whilst on others she was described as being owned in partnership by Tabor and Susan Magnier. She was ridden in nine of her twelve races by Mick Kinane.
