BY BROCK SHERIDAN

Florida-breds I Know I Know and Tank hooked up down the backstretch and took their fight through the run to the wire before I Know I know pulled away to win the $56,550 Jet Propulsion overnight handicap by a length-and-a-quarter going a mile-and-70-yards on the all-weather course at Gulfstream Park Sunday.

Tank jumped out of the outside post to take the lead in the field of four 3-year-olds and older into the clubhouse turn before jockey J.G. Torrealba sent I Know I Know after the leader as they turned up the backstretch. Tank and jockey Leonel Reyes were able to get away with a :24.71 first quarter but I Know I know pressed him through a quicker :48.14 half-mile while just to his outside.

Tank and I know I know went back and forth down the lane before I know I Know kicked away just before the wire to finish in 1:30.75. Tank was two-and-a-half lengths ahead of Jayhawk in third with Malcolm X (Per) fourth.

Second last time to Neat in the $65,000 Miami Mile overnight handicap going a mile on the turf on October 3 at Gulfstream, the Patrick Biancone-trained I Know I Know won the first time since August of last in a second condition, $62,500 optional claiming on the Gulfstream synthetic.

I Know I Know increased his career earnings to $250,707 for owners Patrick Biancone Racing and Amy E. Dunne from four wins, four seconds and two thirds in 20 starts. He is by Jess’s Dream out of Prove Me, by Big Drama and was bred in Florida by Biancone.
