Top O'The North made his debut at Doncaster, 1982. Won at Redcar and the Champion 2yo Trophy at Ripon.
"I had a right good punt on this" said Mick Easterby. He'd been backed at odds 11/1 after looking through the form of the Acomb Stakes (Sayf El Arab had finished fourth) and his trainer believed the form didn't add up to much. Top O'The North was also entered in a less valuable race the following day but it was decided that he would take on the better horses and he won. He was also third in the Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot.
He left for Richard Hannon in 1984 and came back, running at Ripon on 1 Sep 1984, unplaced.
