Wise Dan is unquestionably one of America's best turf horses, posting impressive victories in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile and Grade 2 Fourstardave Handicap in his last two starts, and the talented gelding looks poised to make a serious assault upon the November 3 Breeders' Cup Mile. He will receive his final tune-up in Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Shadwell Turf Mile, one of five graded stakes races on a strong Keeneland program.

Trained by Charles Lopresti, Wise Dan is as versatile as they come, winning graded stakes on turf, dirt and synthetics, and the five-year-old rolled to a track record-setting victory in his last appearance at Keeneland, taking the Grade 2 Fayette Stakes on Polytrack. He possesses a four for five mark on turf, but the lone setback came in last year's Shadwell as Wise Dan finished fourth behind three-time champion Gio Ponti.

Todd Pletcher will send out a pair in Dominus and Doubles Partner. Dominus has won two straight since a trainer switch, including a wire-to-wire tally in the Bernard Baruch in his turf bow, and the four-year-old colt will likely revert to rating tactics from post 11. Julien Leparoux retains the mount. Grade 2 hero Doubles Partner will make his first start since early May, checking in a decent fourth in the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic, and the five-year-old ran well when finishing a troubled third in the Maker's 46 Mile two start back, beaten less than a length. Javier Castellano will guide. Trainer Chad Brown will send out Grade 3 hero Corporate Jungle, who exits a non-threatening second in the Fourstardave, and Grade 2 winner Willcox Inn brings solid credentials into the race for Michael Stidham.

Daisy Devine will bring a two for two mark over the course into the Grade 1, $350,000 First Lady Stakes, a one-mile turf affair that will feature six fillies and mares. She made her turf bow at Keeneland 12 months ago, springing a 43-1 upset in the Valley View Stakes, and followed it with a pair of sharp stakes wins on Fair Grounds' turf. She then rolled to a one-length score in Keeneland's Grade 1 Jenny Wiley last April, and Daisy Devine will attempt to join Intercontinental (2005) and Never Retreat (2011) as the only females to win both races in the same year.
