IAIN JARDINE may operate at a mainly modest level with his horses but his eagerness for finding winners remains as sharp as ever and 44 have already returned to his Dumfries Stable in 2024, with prize money touching on £400,000.
Jardine has his string in good order at the moment, the yard having their fair share of winners and August, so far, has been particularly productive, a 5,468-1 four-timer at Ayr on August 10 when Parisiac, Can’t Stop Now, Giselles Izzy and Jonny Concrete seeing the stable make headlines.
He said: “I am always striving to get better quality horses and it’s not for lack of trying but we have done well with the ones we have got. We have a lot of nice supporting owners and to look after them, and stop them from getting stale, we have to try and get them into better quality horses and races.”
He continued: “It is like any other sport and you have to get new team members in and keep them ticking over.”
Jardine’s previous best of 58 in 2023 is within his sights and he may top it this season. While chasing improvement, Jardine kindly took time to speak to Tony Elves for attheraces.com about the mainstays of his team on the Scottish Borders.
