National Spirit (foaled 1941) was a British National Hunt horse best known for winning the Champion Hurdle twice, as well as the Rank Challenge Cup at Fontwell three times. He was one of the best hurdlers in the post-war era, and was also an excellent dual-purpose horse, winning several major races on the Flat. Along with Irish hurdler Hatton’s Grace, National Spirit was one of the most popular horses of his time == Background ==
A big, long striding chestnut gelding, National Spirit was bred by Mr L. A. Abelson, who owned him throughout his career. His sire, Scottish Union, was a son of Derby and 2000 Guineas winner Cameronian, while his dam Cocktail was a daughter of St Leger winner Coronach. National Spirit was originally called ‘Avago’, before being renamed and put into training with Epsom based trainer Vic Smyth. He was noted to be somewhat of a character, and loved to 'drop' his riders during exercise by whipping round without warning.
