Better Than Honour (foaled 1996 in Kentucky) is an American thoroughbred mare racehorse. She is out of the Kentucky Oaks winner, Blush With Pride, by the sire, Deputy Minister. Owned by Robert Waxman, she was trained by John Kimmel.

Lightly raced at two, Better Than Honour, the favorite, won the Grade II Demoiselle Stakes after Tutorial veered in down the stretch and was disqualified and placed fifth. At three, Better Than Honour placed in the Acorn Stakes and Comely Stakes, with a show in the Mother Goose Stakes.

Better Than Honour is best known, however, not for her racing success as a graded stakes race winner but more for her success as a broodmare. She is the dam of not one but two Belmont Stakes winners, Jazil, by Seeking the Gold, and Rags to Riches, by A.P. Indy.

When her racing career was over, Better Than Honour was purchased by John G. Sikura of Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Kentucky. He sold her to Skara Glen Stables in 2001 then in 2005, while in foal to Mineshaft, she was sold at the 2004 Keeneland November sale for $2 Million to Coolmore Stud and Michael Tabor. She is now the property of John G. Sikura and Southern Equine and resides at Hill 'n' Dale in Kentucky.

Her latest (2007) foal is by Giant's Causeway.
