Won: Prix la Fleche (1400m), Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (2400m), Prix la Force (2000m), Prix de la Cote Normande (2000m) 2nd: Prix la Rochette (1600m) 3rd: King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. (1M, 4F) 4th: Prix Boiard (2000m) Topyo provided the Arc's second-biggest shock at odds of 82-1 in 1967. He benefited from the late defection of Busted, the Noel Murless-trained Eclipse and King George winner who was clearly the best horse in Europe but broke down on the gallops nine days before. In a record field of 30 runners, Topyo only just held on in a desperate finish from two fast-closing British raiders, Salvo and Ribocco. article: https://vault.si.com/vault/1967/10/16/suzys-sleeper-at-longchamp-even-fooled-the-french Sire in Japan 1969-75 (death)
