Park Top (May 1964 – 10 May 1989) was a top-class British-bred racehorse. She had an unfashionable pedigree, cost only 500 guineas as a yearling. Her grand-dam Oola Hills was the dam of the leading sprinter Pappa Fourway. Unlike him, Park Top was at her best over middle distances.
While she did not run as a two-year-old, her career tally of wins was 13 races worth £136,440. She was disappointing as a broodmare and her few foals had shown minimal talent before she was retired in 1979. Park Top was bred by Joan Scott of Buttermilk Stud Farm, South Newington, Oxfordshire.
