for HOLLY BULL lovers
 

today's 4th race at Delaware brings you a 2 yo maiden race

#2 TUA is by the mare BERGAMOT

BERGAMOT is the daughter of SHARON BROWN who i think was the mother of HOLLY BULL.

not sure if i am right, i am doing this out of a very bad memory these days. maybe one of you pedigree experts can check this out for me please

I believe you are correct

I can't speak for everyone, but my day is now complete.

this goes hand in hand with your knowledge of picking horse race winners.

Holly Bull, a filly, retired a maiden after 10 starts in 2009. Why should we care about this?

Any horse by a mare is newsworthy if you ask me.

Since when do you speak for everyone on this forum?

Whether it’s of particular interest or not to the majority of self-proclaimed horse racing enthusiasts is immaterial.
The man is entitled to his comment just like anyone else.

Since you couldn't help ridiculously insinuating yourself into this, and shockingly ( or maybe not ) missed the joke.....the reality is that there's something disrespectful about not actually knowing the name ( it was misspelled twice so it wasn't a typo ) of one of the best horses of ( at least ) the last 30 years.

So there's that.....which is why CJ and I joking here is actually being nice, since the alternative wasn't as kind.

Yeah, but.....Hong Kong!

I thought was PA's '"Holy Bull" he was talking about. :blush:

You guys realize that is what was funny about it, right? We all knew he was talking about Holy Bull, but he spelled it wrong twice. That is why we are joking about it. It is kind of like when people spell D. Wayne Lukas 'Lucas' instead.

For those you that never saw Holy Bull or don't remember how good he got for awhile, here are his lifetime PPs.

(I feel compelled to say that mid teen Beyers were a LOT more common back in the 90s than in the 2000s and certainly now, but stringing them together and breaking into the 120s was still a big deal back then)
