Kentucky Derby intrigue surrounds Corniche and Jack Christopher

Corniche and Jack Christopher are the top contenders for the 2022 Kentucky Derby. Corniche won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar on Nov. 5. Jack was injured and scratched the day before the race. The colt will start training in early 2022 at WinStar Farm and then ship to Palm Meadows and start his campaign in South Florida. Smile Happy is the individual favorite at 8-1 following a victory in the Grade II Kentucky Jockey Club on November 27 at Churchill Downs. Baffert's horses are ineligible to run at the Louisville track for next two years. He is unsure if his top 2-year-olds will be able to earn Derby qualifying points.
