00:00Every sire hopes to have a son to follow in his footsteps.
00:04An impressive debut.
00:06For Munnings, that son is Jack Christopher.
00:09Jack Christopher to win the champagne.
00:11Unbeaten grade one winner at two.
00:14Dual grade one winner at three.
00:17And he is pouring it on here.
00:19It is Jack Christopher winning the grade one H. Allen Jerkins Memorial.
00:25Jack Christopher.
00:30It's time now for the Coolmore Stallion of the Week.
00:33And who is it this week?
00:34It's Jack Christopher, the best son of leading sire Munnings.
00:38Jack Christopher was 5 for 5 around one turn with three grade one wins.
00:42Chad Brown, his trainer, said of him,
00:44I've never had a horse with this much pure brilliance.
00:48I remember seeing Jack Christopher before his first race
00:51and watching him in the paddock.
00:52And I'll never forget that race in 2021 at Saratoga.
00:56He was bet heavily.
00:57A little unusual for Chad Brown starting around the dirt.
01:00But boy, did he impress winning by eight and three-quarter lengths.
01:03I knew then he was going to be a major player.
01:05And he proved he was just that with wins in the champagne.
01:09Pat DeMaio, Woody Stevens, and Allen Jerkins Memorial.
01:12Everything about him suggests he should be a terrific sire.
01:15Zoe, I know you were obviously impressed with him also.
01:18Yeah, in his very first start.
01:20And talk about keep it in the family.
01:21He now joins his sire at Coolmore, Munnings.
01:25Not only did they have Munnings, they have Jack Christopher as well.
01:29And, you know, we spoke about elite power earlier in the show.
01:33The only horse to beat elite power this year is Gunite.
01:38Do you know who Jack Christopher beat when he broke his maiden?
01:42Gunite.
01:43Do you know who he beat when he ran in the champagne?
01:45Gunite.
01:46I mean, looks like a no brainer to me, doesn't it?
