Update through Novak through LoPresti:
He is still in surgery, but LoPresti called to say it's the best case scenario for colic, nothing had to be resected" (cont) (cont): "If he recovers from it well, they're thinking 6 or 8 weeks off at the most," said LoPresti, added this shouldn't be career-ending

@DRFHersh: Great news from owner Mort Fink: Wise Dan only had a twisted intestine. They put it back in place, sewed him up, & he's in recover.

"He had a routine gallop, trained great this morning, and about an hour after training he started acting like he was uncomfortable in the stall," the trainer explained. "We medicated him and he didn't respond. Once we got him over to Rood & Riddle, they ultrasounded him and the vet saw a piece of small intestine he didn't like." The 7-year-old Wiseman's Ferry gelding did not respond to attempts to ease the issue naturally. "We got him out on the lunge rein and tried to jog him around and he didn't work out of it," LoPresti said. While Wise Dan was still in surgery, LoPresti called the issue "the best-case scenario for colic" after Hopper was able to investigate. "From what I gather, he's got a piece of small intestine that flipped the wrong way," LoPresti said. "If we didn't go in there and do it, he would have lost blood supply and it would have been a bad scenario; the only way to fix it was to do it this way." Hopper expects Wise Dan to spend about 6-8 weeks on the sidelines at the most, but the incident should not prevent him from coming back to run again as long as he progresses well through recovery. "He's going to have to show me that he's okay, but I don't think it's career-ending," LoPresti said Read more on BloodHorse.com: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...#ixzz31tVgP0ol

So glad it wasn't more serious. It wouldn't be fair if we lost him.

6-8 weeks would be a huge relief. I think we all want to see the champ continue his victory tour as long as possible. I seriously was in panic mode all day over this, I love this guy's guts, determination, and talent.

from Blood-Horse:
Claire Novak said Charlie LoPresti checked in this morning with photos of Morton Fink's two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan, who is recovering well from colic surgery undergone April 16. "Please let everyone know we appreciate their thoughts and prayers! It must be working," was the message from the trainer and his wife, Amy. "He got about 20 minutes grazing this morning... needless to say, we are all breathing a little easier. Keep those prayers coming."
