Boss also advertises Jack Christopher’s potential as a stallion. A multiple sire of Gr.1 winners in the U.S., including Kentucky Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia, Street Boss has also excelled in Australia, where his son Anamoe ranks as an all-time great, with nine Gr.1 wins to his name. Jack Christopher is inbred 4x4 to two-time Champion Sire STORM CAT , who was also Champion Sire of juveniles on six occasions. Further lines of STORM CAT are an option, as Speightstown has Gr.2 and Gr.3 winners inbred 3x3 to STORM CAT and a Gr.1 winner inbred 3x4. Munnings also has Graded winners out of grand-daughters of STORM CAT , sired by FORESTRY , TABASCO CAT , FREUD , GIANT’S CAUSEWAY and AFTER MARKET . SCAT DADDY mares should help reinforce Jack Christopher’s 2YO ability and daughters of JUSTIFY also appeal. There is also no obstacle to adding another line of UNBRIDLED , who will be back in the fifth generation of Jack Christopher’s foals. Munnings also has black-type winners from the GONE WEST , SMART STRIKE , FORTY NINER and KINGMAMBO branches of the MR PROSPECTOR line. Munnings’ 2YO Gr.1 winner Eda has a dam by LEMON DROP KID , while he has a Gr.2 winner, Venetian Harbor, out of a mare by STREET CRY and a Gr.2-placed filly with a dam by STREET SENSE . Munnings has two Gr.2 winners out of daughters of champion sire TAPIT . Munnings also has a Gr.3 winner from only 4 foals out of A.P. INDY mares and is building some impressive statistics with mares by sons of A.P. INDY . In addition to having 35% BTWs among his nine foals out of mares by FLATTER and 15% BTWs from mares by CONGRATS , his runners out of mares by BERNARDINI include Gr.2 winner Scaramouche. Speightstown’s seven BTWs out of daughters of A.P. INDY include four Graded winners, headed by Gr.1 winner Flagstaff, so Jack Christopher is well worth trying with mares from the A.P. INDY line. Munnings sired I’m A Chatterbox from a grand-daughter of DANZIG . He also has Graded winners out of daughters of HARD SPUN and BELONG TO ME , while Speightstown sired the Gr.1 winners Jersey Town and Seek Again from mares by BELONG TO ME and DANEHILL . Munnings has a Gr.2 winner with a dam by EL PRADO and he also has four BTWs with mares by MEDAGLIA D’ORO . Speightstown has an outstanding record with MEDAGLIA D’ORO mares, with the Gr.1 winners Prince of
Monaco, Rock Fall, Olympiad and Competitionofideas among his 11 BTWs (15%). MUNNINGS ’ latest Gr.1 winner, Howard Wolowitz, is out of a mare by UNCLE MO .
❝ It's hard to overshadow a Triple Crown race, but that's exactly what happened Saturday at Belmont Park, where we saw a pair of performances from two special horses that are freakishly fast and talented. It's rare when horses can live up to the hype, but Flightline and Jack Christopher didn't meet expectations, they shattered them. These are superstars . ❞ Bill Finley , TDN, June 12th 2022, after the Woody Stephens Stakes-Gr.1
