Default The return of...

Bob Black Jack!

I actually like this horse. If he comes back the same (big if, I know), he should win some big races.

I meant by saying I like him that I think he's a really nice horse.

What an exciting week. First RHT is released from Byk prison. Now we hear this news about Bob Black Jack. The trifecta will be completed when The Fat Man returns to Nerdy Trail in time for the BC.

Here's how that plays out...

TFF would start out by telling us all what a bunch of dickheads we are.

Then after the BCC, if Uncle Mo were to lose he'd tell us he told us so.

If Mo won, then he'd say so what, it's the worst field ever and he'd have had to fall over to lose.

He'd blast two or three rides in the BC (I am on board with him on that!) then top off all of the fun with some bizarre rant that I can't make any sense of.

If anyone was ever really in need of being banned, TFF was it.

Bob Black Jack, who set the early pace, took a bad step near the finish line and was pulled up by jockey Joe Talamo while crossing the wire sixth. Bob Black Jack was removed in the track ambulance.

Hollywood Park’s stewards, acting on information provided by the track veterinarians, reported that Bob Black Jack injured the suspensory ligaments in his left front leg and may also have suffered sesamoid damage. Regardless, his racing career is over. Bob Black Jack, 6, won five races, including the 2008 Malibu Stakes. In an eerie coincidence, Saturday’s start was his 13th, as it was for Irrefutable, who collapsed and died after the earlier Underwood.
