DEL MAR, CA — Unbeaten 'TDN Rising Star' Jack Christopher (Munnings), the 9-5 morning-line favorite for Friday's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Del Mar, has been scratched, Breeders' Cup announced late Thursday evening. The chestnut, owned by Jim Bakke, Gerald Isbister, Coolmore Stud and Peter Brant and trained by Chad Brown, made it two-for-two with an eye-catching win in Belmont's GI Champagne S. Oct. 2. The chestnut brought $135,000 at last year's FTKOCT sale.
“Jack Christopher will be fine (L Shin),” Bradley Weisbord of BSW Bloodstock, a bloodstock advisor for Bakke, Tweeted. “Gutted for the ownership group led by the Bakke family, Liz Crow, Chad Brown's entire team and Jose Ortiz. After an undefeated 2yo season, and a perfect month of preparation, we all know how hard it is to become a champion. See you in 2022.”
