Captain Christy (foaled 1967) was an Irish-bred and Irish-trained racehorse who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup as a novice.In spite of a tendency to make mistakes, Captain Christy was one of the best Irish chasers of his era noted for his 30-length win over Bula in the 1975 King George VI Chase at Kempton Park. Gerry Newman rode him in that race, but for most of his other successes his jockey was Bobby Beasley.
