Jack Christopher (Munnings), expected to go off the favorite in the GI TVG Breeders' Cup Juvenile but scratched by the track veterinarians the day prior to the race, has had a screw inserted in his left shin due to a stress fracture, according to his ownership group's racing manager, Bradley Weisbord.

The news was first reported by the Blood-Horse.

“Jack Christopher saw Dr. Larry Bramlage the Wednesday following the Breeders' Cup,” said Weisbord. “He had a full examination, including a bone scan. A couple of areas lit up, mainly the left shin, which is the reason he scratched on the Thursday prior to the Juvenile. He had a procedure where one screw was inserted into his shin, which will be removed in three weeks. He will recover at WinStar Farm before heading to South Florida.”

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.

“Chad Brown has split strings between Payson Park and Palm Meadows,” said Weisbord. “It is undetermined at this time which string Jack Christopher will join. We will leave that up to Chad, but we look forward to seeing him on the track in early 2022.”
