Tiutchev (23 April 1993 – 8 November 2022) was an English racehorse who started his racing career as a Flat horse for trainer Roger Charlton.[1]

Tiutchev made his debut in September 1996 in a Haydock maiden, where he finished 6th. He went on to have two further runs for Roger Charlton, before being transferred to the yard of National Hunt trainer Henrietta Knight,[1] for whom he made his debut when finishing 4th in maiden hurdle at Warwick in February 1997. He failed to shine in his next three races, where he fell and then unseated his rider in the next two. He ended the season on an improved note however, as he was placed in his next 2 runs.

Tiutchev then changed yards again during the summer of 1997, when he joined trainer

Tote Gold Trophy, but disappointed by finishing 6th, which he followed by filling the same position in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, behind Istabraq. In his final of the season, he was sent off the favourite for the Welsh Champion Hurdle
, but could only finish 2nd.

Tiutchev changed yards again in the summer of 1999, as he joined the yard of

Betfair Bowl
at Aintree.

Tiutchev spent his retirement on the farm of one of his part-owners, where his paddock companion was Kissair.[1] He died on 8 November 2022, aged 29.[1]
