Three Troikas (foaled 1976) was a French Thoroughbred champion racehorse who was owned, trained and raced by three members of the famous Head family. The highlight of her career came in the 1979 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, where she defeated the Derby winner Troy. She was crowned European champion three-year-old in the same year.
