Tingle Creek Tips & Odds

The history of the Tingle Creek Chase

Named after the excellent Tingle Creek who was plying his trade in the 1970's, the Tingle Creek Chase was first run in 1979 as a handicap race before being promoted to Grade One status in 1994.

Since then, the race has grown with every passing year. It is possible to make a case for the Tingle Creek having the best roll of honour outside of the Cheltenham Festival with every years winner being as impressive as the year previous. 

Multiple winners of the race have gone on to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase in the same season to highlight its importance even further. 

The ultimate test of speed and jumping, the Tingle Creek is a special contest and one of the favourite fixtures on the calendar for any National Hunt enthusiast and looks set to stay that way for many years to come.

Who is the most iconic winner of the Tingle Creek Chase?

Picking the most iconic winner of the Tingle Creek is harder than picking your favourite child.

The list of legends to have won this race is unparalleled with Desert Orchid, Flagship Uberalles, Kauto Star, Master Minded, Sprinter Sacre and the aforementioned Altior just a smattering of names to fall under that bracket. On this occasions though we are going to go with Moscow Flyer who famously won the race twice, including in 2004 when he beat Azertyuiop and Well Chief in a race widely regarded as one of the best of the 21st century.

That 2004 race will live long in the memory and with Moscow Flyer coming out on top that glorious day, the Irish trained legend deserves his place at the top.
