Wise Dan out of BC with injury
Dang it!
"Morton Fink, owner of Wise Dan, the two-time defending Breeders’ Cup Mile (GI) winner and reigning two-time Horse of the Year, informed Breeders’ Cup officials on Monday morning that Wise Dan has developed a non-displaced fracture at the bottom of the cannon bone of the right front fetlock that will prevent him from seeking a third Breeders’ Cup Mile title on November 1 at Santa Anita Park at the 31st Breeders’ Cup World Championships." http://www.breederscup.com/article/t...nita-due-ankle

That's disappointing and should open it up for others like the Euro's that might be coming over. Too bad. Hope this will not end his career . . . he is amazing to watch and a tough customer too.

Tough news to swallow, esp after his last race.
Get Well, Wise Dan!

Boo. I hope, of course, he comes back, but if he can't and retires, Kentucky Horse Park did just lose another two time Horse of the Year... I imagine they'd gladly find a spot for him.

Happy that they found it, but I sure was looking forward to a three-peat. Can't really see him coming back after this.
And yes, the Hall of Champions would be a most appropriate place for him some day.

From TVG Facebook page
"Two time Horse of The Year Wise Dan will miss the Breeders' Cup due to ankle injury. His owner, Mr. Fink said: “We won't decide if he will return to training until we see if he heals perfectly because he has nothing left to prove,”

so i'm looking up w. dans record and i thought " wow! ...what a great horse this is. seems like he should be up there with the all time greats like cigar, secretariat, etc....
he's 23 out of 31...winning g-1, g-2 races......really doesn't get the attention he deserves from the main stream media. then i look up citation and i see this.... Belmont Park 6/12/1948 6 Belmont Stakes 1 Garden State 5/29/1948 6 Jersey Stakes 1 Pimlico 5/15/1948 6 Preakness Stakes 1 Churchill Downs 5/1/1948 7 Kentucky Derby 1 he runs in a race for fun in between the preakness and belmont. unheard of.....now thats a tough animal!
