He's done enough.

I agree Coach....it seemed a little iffy last year for Fink to campaign his champ this year.....Hope the connections make a good decision. Maybe like Lava Man

Tough news to swallow, esp after his last race.

Get Well, Wise Dan!

Boo. I hope, of course, he comes back, but if he can't and retires, Kentucky Horse Park did just lose another two time Horse of the Year... I imagine they'd gladly find a spot for him.

Happy that they found it, but I sure was looking forward to a three-peat. Can't really see him coming back after this.

And yes, the Hall of Champions would be a most appropriate place for him some day.

Glad they found it when they did

The connections have always done right by this horse and I don't
think anything will change. If "Dan" says he wants to race next
season I'm sure they will listen

From TVG Facebook page

"Two time Horse of The Year Wise Dan will miss the Breeders' Cup due to ankle injury. His owner, Mr. Fink said: “We won't decide if he will return to training until we see if he heals perfectly because he has nothing left to prove,”

He'd probably go back to Mr. Fink's farm right? With Successful Dan? Maybe they could be prevailed upon to let him come to the KY Horse Park occasionally like Mine That Bird does. He's not there all the time. I'd like him there year round, but nothing wrong with an owner wanting their beloved horse at home.
