Wise Dan wins Eclipse

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Wise Dan beat out I’ll Have Another for Horse of the Year at the Eclipse Awards on Saturday night.

Wise Dan won five of six starts in 2012, winning the Breeders’ Cup Mile in course-record time and two other Grade I turf stakes. The 5-year-old gelding’s lone defeat was by a head in the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs, where he gave weight to winner Ron the Greek.
