Credit Call was an English racehorse who won 37 National Hunt steeplechases by 1976. He was a gelding owned by Chris Collins and trained by William Arthur Stephenson. Collins rode many of his wins as an amateur, but he was injured in the 1971 Horse and Hound Cup and Graham Macmillan rode Credit Call that day. Collins later sold the horse to Ursula "Urkie" Newton. Newton's son Joey rode Credit Call to four wins in eight starts in 1975, and in 1976 Newton became the trainer, with Joey adding six more wins. The Credit Call Cup, run at Stratford for the Novices’ Hunters’ Chase, honors Credit Call’s four victories in the Horse and Hound Cup.
