George Scott's four-year-old lands the Group Two on the final day of Royal Ascot 2024 while Bedtime Story was a superb winner of the Chesham Stakes
Isle Of Jura grabbed a shock victory in the Group Two Hardwicke Stakes on the final day of Royal Ascot 2024.
But it was all about Isle Of Jura and trainer Scott said: "He's an exceptional racehorse and it was an exceptional race from start to finish. He was the right horse at the right time . It's amazing. Just over a year ago he was well beaten in a Thirsk maiden. To do this for Sheikh Nasser , such a big supporter of mine, is very special. We are just blessed to have him, he's repaid us time and time again and the journey from hereon in is going to be very very special.
“Isle Of Jura was so good today – he loves quick ground and stays a mile and a half very well. Six weeks ago I thought I’d found my diamond and that wasn’t to be, but Isle Of Jura has certainly blossomed into one. We had a great winter and I’d ridden plenty of winners, and it was all going pretty smoothly, but that's sport – it won’t all go your way for long, and I’m so fortunate to have this horse to continue to bring me to the big occasions.
"I walked the course and there was a good cover of grass and I thought it was safe ground for him, but he's probably better with a bit of cut. He has to settle in his races to be able to stay and to produce a good turn of foot, but we are very pleased with the run - he's a very nice horse and we beat some very nice horses, too. He's entered in the King George, but we'll see what the weather forecast is.
Bedtime Story was the first of Frankel's offspring to win the Chesham and the victory was almost like her sire's blistering wide-margin performances.
