Sensational (1974–2000) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse bred and raced by Mill House Stable which was owned by Nicholas F. Brady and his siblings. She was trained by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Woody Stephens.

The American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly of 1976, Sensational won five of her eleven starts that year. At three, she made seventeen starts, with a victory in the Ladies Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack the most important of her two wins. She won two more times from sixteen starts in 1978, notably taking the Hawthorne Handicap.

Sensational was selected for the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame in 1977. She died in 2000 at age twenty-six.
