Dr Jack, a stakes-placed half-brother to champion Nest and Grade 1 winner Idol, will begin his stallion career at Haras El Embrujo in Peru, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.
The 5-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile retired with three wins in 12 starts for earnings of $156,155, racing for trainer Coty Rosin, who co-owned the horse with Mark Kane.
Dr Jack began his career with owner Harrell Ventures and trainer Todd Pletcher, winning on debut in April of his 3-year-old season at Gulfstream Park, then taking an allowance optional claiming race at Pimlico Race Course by three lengths.
The colt was tested against stakes competition in his next start, finishing third behind Kentucky Derby winner Mandaloun in the listed Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park.
He was later moved to the barn of trainer Steve Asmussen, for whom he won a claiming race at Oaklawn Park, and the horse was picked up by Rosin and Kane for a $25,000 claiming price.
Dr Jack raced once for the new connections, finishing off the board at Canterbury Park, before being entered in the 2022 Keeneland November Horses of Racing Age Sale. He sold to Dante Zanelli, agent, for $45,000.
Bred in Kentucky by the partnership of Ashview Farm and Colts Neck Stables, Dr Jack is out of the stakes-winning A.P. Indy mare Marion Ravenwood, whose foals of note include Nest, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2022; and Idol, who won the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap and stands at Taylor Made Stallions in Kentucky; and stakes-placed Lost Ark.
Dual classic winner Real Quiet is in Dr Jack's extended family, along with Preakness Stakes winner Majestic Prince and English champion Crowned Prince.
