Jupiter Island (23 February 1979–25 July 1998) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He won fourteen of his forty-one races in a six-year racing career which lasted from 1981 until 1986. He showed useful but unexceptional form until the late summer of 1983 when he won the Ebor Handicap and followed up with a win in the St. Simon Stakes. He reached his peak as a six-year-old in 1985 when he won the John Porter Stakes, Hardwicke Stakes and Prix du Conseil de Paris. His final season was disrupted by injury problems, but he ended his career with his biggest success when he became the first British-trained horse to win the Japan Cup. ==Background== Jupiter Island was a "close-coupled, quite attractive"〔 but "rather narrow"〔 horse with a white coronet on his left hind foot, bred by the Marquess of Tavistock. He was one of many winners produced by Tavistock's broodmare Mr Moss: the others were almost all fast-maturing sprinters including Krayyan (National Stakes), Precocious (Gimcrack Stakes) and Pushy (Queen Mary Stakes). The Marquess of Tavistock was staying on Jupiter Island in Florida when the colt was foaled and named the horse after the island. As a yearling he was sent to the Newmarket Houghton sales where he was sold for 10,000 guineas to the trainer Clive Brittain. He entered the ownership of S. M. Threadwell and was trained by Brittain Carlburg Stable in Newmarket, Suffolk. Brittain has been regarded as a pioneer of intercontinental racing, sending Bold Arrangement to finish second in the Kentucky Derby and winning the Breeders' Cup Turf with the filly Pebbles.
