1979 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

[@ianzanshin5044]

Takes an exceptional horse to win the Arc after all that he'd achieved earlier in the season. Was a beast in the Derby!

[@waynemarlow8157]

For me the best race horse of all time

[@frankschlanker]

He certainly achieved an awful lot more than some "superstars"!

[@nightowl7459]

​@@frankschlankerHe did, the only horse to win the English, Irish Derby, King George and International (then the Benson and Hedges) we won't see many like him that often.

Tree troïkas, Extraordinaire, ALLEZ FRANCE, BIS,

[@greenscorpio1967]

why troy so underrated great time he won the 79 international stakes too

[@frankschlanker]

He'd had a long hard season by this, and was probably done for by the time this race came round

[@kevinmunday5782]

He really started to fly , but too late....

[@nightowl7459]

Troy a great Derby winner, at least he went down fighting.

[@NoldorWarrior44]

troy never landed a blow

[@StephenSmall-sf5um]

Didn't have the pace to lay up close
