Bob Black Jack had a 14-month layoff to overcome but all the cards were in his favor when he wired the field in the 0000 San Carlos Handicap (gr. II) by 2 1/2 lengths at Santa Anita Feb. 20. With regular rider David Flores aboard, the 5-year-old Bob Black Jack repulsed a bid from Ventana in the stretch and won the seven-furlong San Carlos under steady handling in 1:21.05 over the Pro-Ride track. Drifting out a little in the lane, the time was not nearly as fast as the 1:20.20 he turned in while winning the Malibu Stakes (gr. I) in his last start Dec. 26, 2008, but it was an impressive effort nonetheless. www.bloodhorse.com
