Two 2022 Derby Hopefuls Share Future Odds on Differing Paths

Jack Christopher had a screw placed in his left shin. He will be out for two months. Jack Christopher will start training in 2022 at WinStar Farm and then ship to Palm Meadows and start his campaign in South Florida. The horse won his first two races, including the Oct. 2 Grade 1 Champagne Stakes.

Jack Christopher and Messier are the 2022 Derby hopefuls. Messer won the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes last Sunday at Del Mar. Jack Christopher is co-20/1 second favorite on Caesars at William Hill’s 2022 derby futures board.

Derby hopeful Messier needs a barn change. Next stop is the Grade 2 Los Alamitos Futurity on Dec. 11. He went for $470,000 at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton select yearlings showcase.
