Wise Dan in The GR I Shadwell Turf Mile

[TJ]

Wise Dan faces his toughest task to date at Keeneland today. After winning his return to the races following his bout with colic....let's hope he can maintain his position at the top and move forward off his nose victory in his Saratoga return. Here's the field with PP's. TJ

I'm cheering for Dan to take this. He's such a game warrior.
I also like the two from Woodbine - Kaigun and Grand Arch.

I agree Cree, gotta root for the old boy. Just watching this one:>) TJ

Wow! He is fun. I was worried the first half, he was sort of just loping along, but when he wants to win, he sure wins! Nice try by Grand Arch.
I don't think the race took anything out of him, he's a bit of a tiger in the winners circle.

Hi Cree,
Yes, it was a bit scary for a while...he didn't break as good as they expected, but boy did he get rolling when JV asked him. TJ
