00:00Jack Christopher was a beast physically as a yearling.

00:06He had just massive natural muscle tone to him and his forearm and his gaskin and his

00:10hip.

00:11He looked powerful and fast.

00:14Chad Brown loved him literally from the minute that horse got off the van at his barn.

00:19I've never had a trainer, let alone an Eclipse Award winning trainer, call me after one work.

00:25But he called me at the clock in the morning and told me, this horse is a real runner.

00:30It is Jack Christopher in front by a half dozen lengths.

00:33You dream of debuting a two-year-old like him in Saratoga, especially on the Travers

00:38undercard.

00:39I feel like that's the maiden that everyone circles.

00:42Right away he stamped himself as one of the best two-year-old colts in the country.

00:46Jack Christopher in front by four.

00:48Jack Christopher stretches out and puts in a grade one effort.

00:53He put on such a fun series of races as a three-year-old.

00:58The Woody Stevens Day, I get goosebumps talking about that race.

01:03That was one of the most brilliant performances I've ever been involved with in my life.

01:07Oh, Woody himself would appreciate this effort.

01:11It is Jack Christopher.

01:14Jack Christopher in front.

01:15Gunite moves into second.

01:17I felt like that was one of the races where he really showed his heart to go wire to wire

01:23in that race.

01:24It felt like something that just cemented him as the best three-year-old sprinter in

01:28the country.

01:29Physically, when you go look at him, he's an amazing specimen.

01:34Spitestown and Munnings are a great example of what American dirt racing is all about.

01:40We want the speed and the brilliance.

01:42We also want a little stretch.

01:44I really do believe that Jack Christopher has the chance to be that.
