Persian War (1963-1984) was a British National Hunt horse and a three-time winner of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. He is considered by many to have been the greatest hurdler of all time. He won the Triumph Hurdle in 1967, before progressing to dominate the hurdling ranks for the next three years, including winning the Champion Hurdle three times, until the emergence of dual Champion Hurdle winner Bula. He was rated as the best hurdler since Sir Ken in the 1950s, and described as "the ultimate champion" by trainer Colin Davis, and is considered to have heralded 'a golden age' of two mile hurdling that saw outstanding champions Bula, Comedy Of Errors, Night Nurse, Monksfield and Sea Pigeon.[2] However, many observers felt that Persian War could have accomplished even more if not for the interference of his owner Henry Alper, who employed six trainers to prepare the horse during his career and often targeted unsuitable races. A Scarce book. Ref R 5.
