Racing career
= 2002: three-year-old season
=On 7 October 2002 at Pontefract Racecourse, zee" target="_blank">Zee zee" target="_blank">Zee Top made her track debut in a maiden race over one mile on firm ground and started the 4/6 favourite in a six-runner field. Ridden by Kieren Fallon she took the lead approaching the final furlong and quickly drew away from her opponents to win by seven lengths. Fallon was again in the saddle ten days later when the filly was stepped up in class for the Listed Severals Stakes on softer ground at Newmarket Racecourse and was matched against older fillies and mares. Starting at 12/1 she was restrained in the early stages before making steady progress to take second place, two lengths behind the four-year-old Salim Toto.
= 2003: four-year-old season
=zee" target="_blank">Zee zee" target="_blank">Zee Top began her second campaign in the Listed Middleton Stakes over ten furlongs at York Racecourse on 14 May and started the 11/10 favourite against five opponents including Chorist and Golden Silca (second in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes). After settling behind the leaders she was sent into the lead by Fallon at half way and kept on well to win by a length from Chorist, from whom she was receiving three pounds in weight.
Brett Doyle took the ride when zee" target="_blank">Zee zee" target="_blank">Zee Top was sent to Ireland and started favourite for the Group 2 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on 28 June. She was beaten a neck into second place by the three-year-old Hanami but was relegated one place for hampering the third-placed finisher Snippets as she switched left to obtain a clear run inside the last quarter mile. She was then stepped up to the highest class for the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse on 2 August in which she was ridden by Johnny Murtagh and came home third behind Russian Rhythm and the French filly Ana Marie. Later that month she was tried over one and a half miles in the Yorkshire Oaks but never looked likely to win and finished sixth of the eight runners behind Islington, beaten six and a half lengths by the winner.
Fallon and zee" target="_blank">Zee zee" target="_blank">Zee Top were reunited when the filly was sent to France and went off a 14/1 outsider for the Prix de l'Opéra over 2000 metres on holding ground at Longchamp Racecourse on 5 October. Bright Sky started favourite, while the other nine runners included Yesterday, Ana Marie, Next Gina (Preis der Diana), Trumbaka (Prix Corrida), Sweet Folly (Prix Cléopâtre) and Comercante (Prix de Psyché). zee" target="_blank">Zee zee" target="_blank">Zee Top raced towards the rear and turned into the straight in tenth place before launching a strong late run in the last 300 metres.
