You're welcome, that was still a few years before I made my first trip to Belmont and got hooked.. I know you're a big Holy Bull fan.. have you seen the new video on the Darley America site? It's pretty good.. here's the link Holy Bull

He gives no fewer than 17 lbs to every other horse in the field.

Here you go, not the best quality.. but good enough for now.

Had not seen that...thanks.
Holy Bull was just an awesome race horse, I have no idea where people rank him but its got to be pretty high up there. Too bad he got hurt.

As PA said, it's the greatest losing effort in racing history and the horse/race are not underrated, but I thank you for posting it because everyone should see it and it's an amazing race.

1990 Hollywood Gold Cup. Criminal Type and Sunday Silence battling down the stretch. One of the best races I've ever scene.

Anyone around for the inaugural running of the BC turf mile in 84 would
remember Royal Heroine .
She had been out for quite a while after being involved in a horrible spill at Santa Anita . That spill was fatal for two other horses an RH was beat up and
hurting but survived and came back to flaunt her class .
One tough filly who shouldn't be forgotten .
BTW there was a very nice Stephens filly that she also beat that year . Multiple stakes winner Sabin . Another tough and underrated turf runner.
Had to love her , 18 wins in 25 starts .
