Beyer Figure for Jack Christopher raised to 102 Andrew Beyer Oct 07, 2021 When the 2-year-old Jack Christopher won the Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park, running one mile in 1:37.31, he stamped himself as one of the top colts of his age group. …However, the posted fi nal time of the Champagne was evidently an error. After exhaustive efforts to clock the video of the race, the Beyer Speed Figure team credits Jack Christopher with a fi nal time of 1:36.48, which translates into a fi gure of 102. …If Jack Christopher ran a mile in 1:36.48 and earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 102, this was the best performance by any 2-year-old since 2017. It would be good enough to win any running of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile during that period. It suggests that Jack Christopher is an exceptional talent and the outstanding member of his 2-year-old generation.

Jack Christopher’s Beyer Speed Figure of 102 in the Champagne Stakes-Gr.1 is the highest for a juvenile since 2017!
