Baghdad Note (1965−1992) was a New Zealand Thoroughbred racehorse, who won the 1970 Melbourne Cup and was ridden by Midge Didham.
Given most of his previous wins in New Zealand had been on wet tracks Baghdad Note was dismissed before the 1970 Cup as a 'mud-lark'.
A stirring win at Sandown in 1973 was Baghdad Note's first metropolitan success since the Melbourne Cup.
The horse featured in the 1973 Adelaide Cup, running second to Tavel, and then went to Queensland where he won the O'Shea stakes.
He then started in the Brisbane Cup, when, despite breaking down again nearing the home turn, he still finished in third place.
