Kiss Me Kate (foaled in 1948 in Kentucky) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. She was bred and raced by Walter M. Jeffords, owner of Faraway Farm in Lexington Kentucky whose wife Sarah was the niece of Faraway Farms previous owner, Sam Riddle. Kiss Me Kate's sire was the 1943 U.S. Triple Crown Champion, Count Fleet. Her dam was Irish Nora, a daughter of the very good English-born sire, Pharamond II. Kiss Me Kate continued to race and win at ages four and five after which she was retired to broodmare duty. Her issue did not meet with any success in racing.
