Twin Turbo (Japanese: ツインターボ; April 13, 1988 – January 15, 1998) was a Japanese thoroughbred racehorse and stud horse. His main victories were at the 1993 Tanabata Sho and Sankei Sho All Comers. Despite few high placements in races, he was widely popular with fans throughout his career for his extreme front-running style, which led to him burning out and losing miserably more often than not. He has become just as well-known as Silence Suzuka among Japanese front-runners.
