Relko was a French Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1963 Epsom Derby. A grandson of Tantieme, he was owned by French hotelier, François Dupré and bred at his stud farm in Pont-d'Ouilly in the Basse-Normandie region.
After winning a number of important races in France and in England, Relko was retired in 1965 to stand at stud in England. Although he was a top-class sire of middle-and-long distance horses, he had little success as a sire of sires.
