The Fugue (foaled 16 March 2009) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse who was named European Champion three-year-old filly at the Cartier Racing Awards.

She started slowly and was towards the rear of the field in the early stages before making progress to take the lead inside the final furlong and win by 1+1⁄2 lengths from Salacia.

[5] On her next appearance, The Fugue started favourite for the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot but proved no match for the Dermot Weld-trained filly Princess Highway, who beat her into second place by six lengths.

In August, The Fugue was brought in distance to contest the Nassau Stakes over ten furlongs at Goodwood Racecourse in which her rivals included Was, Nahrain and her stable companion Izzi Top.

"[7] Nineteen days later, The Fugue moved back up in distance for the Yorkshire Oaks and finished second to the French-trained four-year-old Shareta, with Was in third and Shirocco Star in fourth.

On her final race of the season, The Fugue was sent to California for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita Park on 2 November.

Buick struggled to find racing room and had to switch the filly several times inside the closing stages before obtaining a clear run.

[9] According to Gosden, The Fugue did not thrive during the cold winter and spring of 2012/2013, and she did not appear until June, when she took on a field including Camelot, Al Kazeem, Maxios and Red Cadeaux in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.

[11] On 7 September, The Fugue was sent to Ireland to contest the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown Racecourse and started at odds of 4/1 in a field which included Al Kazeem, Trading Leather and Kingsbarns.

Buick settled the filly in fourth place as Trading Leather set a strong pace, before moving to the outside to make a challenge in the straight.

Ridden by Buick, she started the 6/4 favourite ahead of the leading North American turf performers Point of Entry, Little Mike, and Big Blue Kitten.

On her return to Europe, The Fugue contested the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot on 18 June in which she started at odds of 11/2 in a very strong field including Treve, Magician, Mukhadram and Dank.

In a race in which many jockeys appeared to misjudge the pace, allowing the front-runners too much leeway,[15] she finished sixth of the nine runners, six lengths behind the winner, Mukhadram.
