Great shot of Wise Dan winning the Firecracker.

That was a really stressful race to watch for any fan of Wise Dan, let alone his connections!

Let's hope the connections get a bit more sporting with Wise Dan's future. Granted any Graded race at Saratoga is special but the Fourstarsdave or Baruch seem rather simple for a gelding who is suppose to be the best in the world. Doesn't the Whitney have some appeal?

Weight spread and weather and nearly every other trainer scratches.

The Whitney or Woodward are also possibilities. They'd like a G1 on dirt with him without having to go to the BC Classic, and LoPresti would also like to have him go undefeated for the year as part of their HOY campaign.
