Casino Dan finished sixth.

Wise Dan worked on July 18th 4 furlongs in 49.12 on the Oklahoma turf training track. He looks like he is ready for a race - when we saw him gallop on Monday morning on the main track.

Every time I see his backside I think of a draft or quarter horse horse because it is just look so powerful. I do not believe I have never seen hindquarters like his - at least not in person.

[Delamont]

 Bigger than Zenyatta's?   

[Man o Taz]

Yes. She was big...but she seemed well balanced - I never saw her as looking like a freak...

Dan looks like a freak to me with his hindquarters...
