NYRA Time Machine: Holy Bull Holds On in the 1994 Travers

[mulgrum]

I went to Saratoga that week just to see the Bull. The grandstands were literally shaking during the stretch run; people were crying with emotion after the wire. Two other things I remember: When the Bull came onto the track, he looked HUGE compared to Tabasco Cat . And I ran into Jimmy Croll the day before near the paddock; he was a man of very few words and had a lot on his mind but was very cool about accepting well-wishers (not every trainer would have done the same, as we know).

Wish I could've seen The Bull in action :(

What a superstar!

-Anyone know if there are any books or good articles on SB? I'd love to get my hands on some memorabilia :)

Any advice on that is more than welcome. Am a sucker for racing history!!

I think Concern himself logged in and registered the only dislike vote.

Watching this race reminded me how much I loved this colt when he was racing. There is a video of him in his paddock at Darley on their website. He still loves to run. He will take your breath away.

@ruffchamp1 Did you enjoy seeing Persistently win the other day?

[ruffchamp1]

@partymanners Like U, I am a Big Fan of the Phipps Horses, It Looked Like the 1 1/4m was The Deciding Factor. And Great To See Heavenly Prize in Persistently's Pedigree Also.

i love that showed Smarty Jones KY Derby in 04 at the beginning :)  Loving these time machine specials!

@jballscalls : owe you an explanation- I produced this feature and accidentally put in the 2004 Derby (Smarty) instead of the 1994. Unbelievable snafu which we realized, and the corrected Derby is there. Thought you should know. Sorry!

Simply one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Holy Bull.
