Vyjack is an Into Mischief and Life Happened colt who started his career four for four, including wins in the Gotham Stakes (G3) and the Jerome Handicap (G2). His latest race was a show in the Wood Memorial (G1), but it was announced after the race that he had a lung infection. He was beaten by Verrazano, but just missed second to Normandy Invasion putting in a very strong performance. He's currently staying at Fair Hill Equine Therapy Center under trainer Bruce Jackson who operates the facility.
"He has been enjoying it here and looks absolutely fantastic on the track," Jackson said. "The lung infection has completely cleared, and being here at Fair Hill and taking it easy for a little while has done him a world of good."
Vyjack is a great young horse, and the fact that he ran as well as he did despite a lung infection, that shows you his potential. He'll definitely make our shortlist and play into our exotics come the first Saturday in May!
