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.

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.

Fun facts
- Jardy was named for owner-breeder Edmond Blanc's breeding farm, Haras de Jardy. The farm later became the property of legendary French breeder Marcel Boussac before coming into the hands of the French government after Boussac's death in 1980. The property is now a public park and the home of the largest equestrian center in France.
