Isle Of Jura To Miss Rest of The Year After Setback

[Wandering Eyes]

Victorious Racing's Group 2 winner Isle Of Jura (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) has sustained a setback and will miss the rest of the year, trainer George Scott announced.

Currently sporting a five-race winning streak, including the Bahraini Triple Crown this winter and Goodwood's Listed Festival Stakes in May, the 4-year-old gelding won the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot last out. He carried entries in both the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot later this month, and the G1 International Stakes at York on Aug. 21.

“Unfortunately, lsle of Jura has met with a setback and will miss the remainder of 2024,” said Scott. “Naturally this is disappointing news for his owners Victorious Racing and everyone at Eve Lodge.

“However, we unite in the feeling of gratitude towards him. ln little over a year, he's shown himself to be a winning machine including the Bahrain Triple Crown and of course the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot.

“There's every reason to believe he will make a full recovery and with low mileage his best days may yet be ahead of him.”

After making his debut for breeder Godolphin in November of 2022, Isle Of Jura was gelded last January, and was picked up for £150,000 out of the Tattersalls Ascot March Sale that March. He has made the remainder of his starts in Victorious Racing's red colours.
