The 2012 North American Horse of the Year, Wise Dan, is pointing towards a Breeders' Cup prep at Keeneland on Saturday October 5th, 2013 in the Shadwell Turf Mile. If you have not yet made your pilgrimage to Keeneland and/or if you have not yet had the opportunity to experience true thoroughbred greatness in person, may I suggest this is your opportunity to achieve both. And to pick up some free money in the process.
Wise Dan won the Shadwell Turf Mile in 2012, having run (and finishing fourth; completing your Superfecta Box) in the Shadwell for the first time in 2011. You might recall that I was at Keeneland that October afternoon and uploaded my own Android-filmed video of the field exiting the paddock and parading towards the track. Look for Wise Dan wearing the #7 saddlecloth, his jockey in yellow silks.
Whether you make travel arrangements to visit Keeneland next month or not, Steve Haskin from The Blood-Horse posted an interesting column regarding Wise Dan in the wake of his record-setting victory in the Woodbine Mile [Canada] earlier this month. The highlight of Steve's column is a photograph he took of Wise Dan in his stall and in muscular repose. You can read the column and view the photograph here.
