National Spirit has won 2 races at the Cheltenham Festival, from the 1947 Champion Hurdle to the 1948 Champion Hurdle.
Every Festival run on file
| Year | Race | Finished | SP | Jockey | Trainer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1948 | Champion Hurdle | 1st | 6/4 | Ron Smyth | Vic Smyth |
| 1947 | Champion Hurdle | 1st | 7/1 | Danny Morgan | Vic Smyth |
Partnered by Danny Morgan for Vic Smyth, Ron Smyth for Vic Smyth.
Festival runs only. Wins in the championship races are on file back to 1924, and the first four home in every race from 2022, so this is a Cheltenham record rather than a full career history.
