- The Triple Crown of Hurdling is awarded to a horse that wins all three of the open, two-mile Grade 1 Hurdling races in any given English National Hunt season: 1.
* The Fighting Fifth Hurdle, held at the Newcastle Racecourse 2.
* The Christmas Hurdle, held at Kempton Park Racecourse 3.
* The Champion Hurdle, held at Cheltenham Racecourse From 2006 to 2010, the World Bet Exchange (WBX) put up a £1,000,000 bonus for any horse that wins the Triple Crown. WBX offered the prize, the richest in hurdling history. The bonus was split among the winning horse's connections as follows:
* Owner: £700,000
* Trainer: £150,000
* Stable Lad: £100,000
* Stable Staff: £50,000 The only horse to win all three races in one season was Kribensis, a grey Henbit gelding, trained by Sir Michael Stoute in 1989–90. Since the WBX bonus was introduced, only Punjabi and Go Native came close to claiming the prize, each winning two of the three races. After the bonus was withdrawn, their achievements were matched by My Tent Or Yours and Faugheen. (en)
