Frankel was a monster no doubt on Turf but this animal is the most versatile animal to ever wear hair. He loved the grass and rarely if ever got excited and just relaxed no matter his position in the race. The ability to relax under such a powerful stride made it a no brainer for Velas to rate him to the wire. A nose a neck a length etc. at the wire made no difference. He did not have to win by 31 ;-) This horse commanded himself to be in front at the end with nothing left in front but a empty road. He must have known who he was and what he could do whenever he wanted to do it. Must have made his connections have conniptions at times while winking at his competition. I believe, and we will never know, that WD would have unsettled a well lathered exhausted Frankel at the wire who ran every race full out under a strong hold...but not let us peg down a true super Champion in Frankel, how could anyone in their right mind..... but, if any horse was his equal or a nudge above on grass it would have been Wise Dan.
Not wishing to rain on the parade but the British bred pair are really not up to this level of completion.Dimension was a nice h'capper and Trade Storm is an uprated h'capper on the verge of top class .He won a weak Group2(if there is such a thing!!)in Dubai but gets a spanking when in with the better horses.He is a gorgeous looking horse who seems to run for the place money.I think more worthy rivals will show up by Breeders Cup time..
best turf miler of all time
By a mile. Without question.
Frankel perhaps might argue with that.
@@stevencooke6451 Should have put him on a fast track and posted a time close to Dan's. Then you can argue.
What a talented horse!
Wise Dan is not only wise but he is AWESOME!!
Wise Dan will another Eclipse award for best turf horse. He will be a sure contenter for horse of the year if he wins the Breeders Cup Turf Mile.
I'm not surprised, this is a professional race horse. Deserves another eclipse award....
Wise Dan won this renewal even easier than he won last year's. He set a new track record in this race I heard them saying on TVG.
Go Dan!
Man he was something.
131 & 3. Effortlessly. I mean that’s just outa control.
Wow. A $600K workout!
This was lovely. Watching Dan is so relaxing. Does anyone know why this Grade One race has such a minimal purse? BRIAN
Do you have the 2001 woodbine mile also?
That horse is a true champ! I wish he was a stallion I would have loved to see his offspring.
Ahhh... Thank you for the clarification.
Like a Sunday Stroll....a cake walk
wish that he had run against frankel dans times are superior

The courses in Europe don't put up fast times, because they're not flat.
@@signoresantinoburnett1169 And rarely are they truly firm.
it has a million dollar purse, 60k is just the rider cut
