Imperial Call (foaled 21 February 1989) was an Irish racehorse. He was a specialist steeplechaser who ran thirty-two times and won sixteen races under National Hunt rules. After showing promise as a hurdler and novice chaser Imperial Call emerged as a top class jumper with a win in the Hennessy Gold Cup in February 1996. A month later he became the first Irish-trained horse for ten years to win Britain’s most prestigious steeplechase the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
