Mummify
Mummify (24 August 1999 – 16 October 2005) was a popular Australian Thoroughbred racehorse that amassed A$5,134,320 in prize money and won five Group One races, including the 2003 Caulfield Cup and the Singapore Airlines International Cup. Sired by Melbourne Cup winner and Champion Australasian Older Horse Jeune (GB), his dam Cleopatra's Girl, by at Talaq (USA). Mummify was sold at the 2001 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale for $41,000. Mummify was trained by Lee Freedman and gave the trainer his 100th Group 1 victory and first international race win.

The career of Mummify was cut short in the 2005 Caulfield Cup, in which he shattered the sesamoid bone of his near foreleg and was subsequently euthanized, after running third carrying top weight and attempting to lead all the way in the race.

To mummify is to preserve a body by embalming and wrapping it in cloth, often associated with the ancient Egyptian practice where bodies were prepared for the afterlife. However, it can also refer to the natural process where a body or remains dry out and are preserved over time in certain conditions. This term may also apply metaphorically to preserving something for a long time.
