Jushua Tree set to return

Jushua Tree is the highest-earning French-born son of Bold Eagle. He has won two group 1 races, the Prix Bold Eagle and Prix Critérium Continental, as well as an impressive series of group 2 and group 3 races.

Last seen winning the Prix de Bourgogne on December 28, 2025, he is set to return to the track almost 11 months later in the Prix de Bretagne on November 22.

Jushua Tree wins the Prix de Bourgogne over Go On Boy, Inmarosa and Hokkaido Jiel.

The horse hasn't had an easy career so far, often troubled by injuries. He was forced to withdraw from both the 2025 and 2026 Prix d'Amérique. In December 2024, he was ruled out due to lameness in a foreleg. In mid-January 2026, he suffered a crack in his pastern.

His trainer Nicolas Bazire shared an update with Paris-Turf:

“We are keeping our fingers crossed, but for the moment everything is going very well. Jushua Tree is entered in the Prix de Bretagne, where he should make his return. The idea is to take part in the qualifying races to prepare him as well as possible for the Prix d'Amérique.”

If he can return to his best and stay healthy, he is a real contender for the Prix d'Amérique podium.
