Few two-year-olds put their case as a 2022 Derby contender better than Jack Christopher. An easy winner on debut at Saratoga, he then crushed a good field in the Champagne Stakes (G1). Injury kept him out of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile but after a screw was inserted in his left shin, he should be back on the Derby path in early 2022. By Munnings, his dam Rushin No Blushin (by Half Ours) is a half-sister to multiple grade one-winning sprinter and good sire Street Boss.
