The Bard (British horse)

The Bard was a British Thoroughbred racehorse, foaled in 1934. He was primarily known for his performances as a stayer, competing in and winning several significant long-distance races during the mid-1930s. Bred and owned by Sir Harold Wernher, The Bard was trained by Jack Jarvis at Park Lodge in Newmarket.

His notable victories included the 1936 Ascot Gold Cup, a prestigious race known for testing a horse's stamina over a long distance. The Bard's success in the Gold Cup established him as a leading stayer of his time. He also demonstrated consistent performance in other staying events, earning him recognition within the British racing community. Details of his pedigree and complete racing record are available in historical racing publications. While not considered a Triple Crown contender, The Bard's achievements as a stayer cemented his place in British racing history.
