Bio
My Boy Jack emerged as a Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve candidate in February 2018 with a sharp, rail-skimming win in the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
The Creative Cause colt, owned by Don’t Tell My Wife Stalbes and Monomoy Stables, took four starts to break his maiden, finishing sixth in his debut on dirt and then second three times on turf (including a stakes) before reaching the winner’s circle after taking the Zuma Beach Stakes on the Santa Anita Park lawn.
My Boy Jack emerged as a Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve candidate in February 2018 with a sharp, rail-skimming win in the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
The Creative Cause colt, owned by Don’t Tell My Wife Stalbes and Monomoy Stables, took four starts to break his maiden, finishing sixth in his debut on dirt and then second three times on turf (including a stakes) before reaching the winner’s circle after taking the Zuma Beach Stakes on the Santa Anita Park lawn.
He then ran a respectable seventh in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf before trying dirt again in the Grade 3 Sham Stakes, where he checked in third behind McKinzie and All Out Blitz.
Shipped to Oaklawn Park, My Boy Jack settled well back in the field before angling inside and shooting through an opening en route to a visually impressive 4 ½-length win on a muddy sealed track. My Boy Jack subsequently finished third in the $1 million Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby, leaving him on the outside looking in for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve.
He was then rerouted to the Stonestreet Lexington Stakes for his final prep race for the Kentucky Derby and charged from off the pace with a powerful rally to prevail and punch his ticket to Louisville with 20 points. In the Kentucky Derby, My Boy Jack charged from well off the pace to finish fifth on a sloppy racetrack.
The colt is trained by Keith Desormeaux and was ridden by his Hall of Fame brother Kent in the Southwest Stakes. The Desormeaux siblings teamed up to win the 2016 Preakness Stakes with Exaggerator.
