Jardy (FR)

1902 – 1916?

Flying Fox (GB) x Airs and Graces (GB), by Ayrshire (GB)

Family 5-f

A very good juvenile, Jardy trained on well at 3 and may have lost his chance at winning a Classic due to a respiratory illness which according to an eyewitness account was still troubling him when he lost the Derby Stakes to Cicero by three-quarters of a length. He became an important sire following his export to Argentina.

6 starts, 5 wins, 1 second, 0 thirds

  • 2nd Derby Stakes (ENG, 12FT, Epsom)


As an individual

A bay horse, Jardy was apparently troubled by further respiratory woes after his game Derby Stakes run.


As a stallion

Jardy led the Argentine general sire list in 1919. He was second in 1911, 1914, and 1920; was 3rd in 1910 and 1913; and was 4th in 1912. He was second on the Argentine broodmare sire list in 1928, was third in 1929 and was fourth in 1927 and 1933.



Notable progeny

Democracia (ARG), Larrea (ARG), Piscueta (ARG), Tiny (ARG)



Connections

Jardy was bred and owned by Edmond Blanc. In May 1906, he was sold to Carlos Luro for £30,000 and exported to Argentina, where he stood at Haras Nacional. His last Argentine crop arrived in 1917.



Pedigree notes

Jardy is inbred 4x3x4 to 1875 Derby Stakes winner and three-time English champion sire Galopin. He is a full brother to Fils du Vent, winner of the 1908 Prix Robert Papin and Grande Prix d'Ostende.


Jardy's dam Airs and Graces won the 1898 Oaks Stakes. A half sister to the successful Australian sire St. Alwyne, she was produced from the Camballo mare Lady Alwyne, whose dam Florence Aislabie was sired by Young Melbourne out of Mary Aislabie.
