Wise Dan forced to retire; Firecracker renamed for him..

Oh, no. Glad they found the filling, but hate it was there to be found.
I was looking forward to his return, seemed to be back good as new.
I wish him a long and happy life. He was so much fun. Thanks, Dan, it was a blast

so true...like I said, winning tickets

What an awesome horse to follow.

One of my favorite wins of his was when he shot up the rail in the rain in 2013's edition of the Firecracker. Fell in love with the picture of him skimming the rail, and to this day serves as my profile pic.

He's earned a retirement filled with spoils.

Happy retirement big fella. You definately did enough in your career to enjoy the retirement.

Kudos to the connections for doing right by the horse in his career so we could enjoy watching him race instead of ruining him.

But what an outstanding run he had! Awesome job by Mr. Lopresti.

Indeed. Looking forward to his next visit on ATR.

I was hoping to see Wise Dan race again at Keeneland, but it wasn't meant to be.
