Bio
Happy Jack made his career debut in a six-furlong maiden special weight race at Santa Anita Park on Jan. 22, 2022. He pulled off a 24.40-1 upset, rallying after a stalking trip to win by 1 1/4 lengths.
After an unplaced finish in the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes on Feb. 6, Happy Jack took his first serious step toward a potential berth in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on March 5. in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes. He made up mild ground in the stretch and finished third to bank qualifying points toward the Derby.
