Wise Dan repeats as horse of the year at Eclipse Awards
For the second consecutive year, Wise Dan stole the show at the Eclipse Awards on Saturday night.
The 7-year-old gelding, owned by Northbrook's Mort Fink, was awarded the biggest prize, American Horse of the Year, as well as champion older male and champion turf horse at the 43rd annual awards ceremony at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla. He beat out Mucho Macho Man, winner of the 2013 Breeders' Cup Classic, and Will Take Charge for the top-horse honor.
