More about Zee Zee Top
Born: 21 April 1999.
Zee Zee Top, a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare, died November 12, 2026, aged 27.
Foaled on April 21, 1999, she was a dark bay mare bred in England by Meon Valley Stud and trained by Michael Stoute at Newmarket. She began racing only in the autumn of her three-year-old season, winning a minor race on debut before finishing second in the Severals Stakes.
The following year brought the strongest results of her racing career: she won the Middleton Stakes and the Prix de l’Opéra, and was placed in both the Pretty Polly Stakes and the Nassau Stakes. Her pedigree included Zafonic, her sire, who had been Europe’s leading two-year-old in 1992 before winning the 2000 Guineas the next year. Her dam, Colorspin, won the 1986 Irish Oaks and later became a successful broodmare, producing Opera House and Kayf Tara among her other foals. Zee Zee Top also continued her family’s racing line as a broodmare, producing Izzi Top and Jazzi Top, the latter a winner of the Prix de la Nonette. Her career thus encompassed both notable performances on the course and a place in a family associated with major British and Irish racing successes.
