The last time the racing world saw Wise Dan run in a race was at the Keeneland 2014 fall meet when he came back from last place following a slow start to win the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1), which was the first million dollar race in Keeneland's long history.
Wise Dan took a jog around the turf track at Keeneland on Friday morning, July 17, 2015. The two-time horse of the year continues working out in the hopes of getting back to racing, especially at this year's Breeders' Cup, which is at Keeneland – his home track.

On Friday, July 17, 2015, Wise Dan was out on the Keeneland track where photographer Steve Blake caught him jogging around.
The guess here is that the hope is to have him ready to run in the Breeders' Cup Mile on his home track at Keeneland in October 2015. Wise Dan won the race in 2012 and 2013, the same years he won the Eclipse Awards for Horse of the Year.
Updated: Sunday, July 19, 2015: According to BloodHorse.com, the photo above, which was taken by Steve Blake, was actually a timed breeze for Wise Dan on Friday, July 17, 2015. The 8-year-old gelding ran the four-furlongs in :48 1/5 while being ridden by exercise rider, Jenn Patterson.
