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

Two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan (Wiseman’s Ferry–Lisa Danielle, by Wolf Power {SAf}), expected to make his eagerly awaited return to racing in next week’s GI Woodbine Mile, has been retired from racing, according to a release from the Canadian track.

“He’d been training lights out,” trainer Charlie LoPresti said. “But we noticed some filling in his tendon this morning when we were giving him a bath. The vet suggested we scan it and it turns out he has a tear on the outside edge of his tendon.”

The tendon injury was not related to the ankle injury which had sidelined Morton Fink’s champion since he won the GI Shadwell Turf Mile last October.
