Her wins included the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the Coronation Cup, Ribblesdale Stakes, Hardwicke Stakes, Cumberland Lodge Stakes, Brighton Cup (twice), and the Prix d'Hedouville in France. She ran a close second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, as well as in several other prominent races. Park Top was named Horse of the Year in England in 1969, was named champion older female in England from 1968 through 1970, and was named champion older female in France. The Duke of Devonshire was so enamored with his champion that he wrote a book about the experience titled: Park Top, A Romance of the Turf. Thomas Sherwood La Fontaine (British, 1915-2007) With an inventory spanning 50 years, La Fontaine had an impressive range of styles, from cartoons to photo-like realism to Rubenesque compositions. La Fontaine began training as an artist while in preparatory school and continued when he studied art in London. His commissions were global in demand, covering Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. Owing to his extraordinary ability, La Fontaine's works have been confused with those of Alfred J. Munnings and George Stubbs.
