Holy Bull, Past and Present
The sire of this year’s Kentucky Derby winner talks to Maryjean Wall: “I’ve got mares to breed; more Giacomos to make. And a date with me costs $15,000, sweetie.” (Lexington Herald-Leader)
Holy Bull’s former trainer Jimmy Croll remembers the 1994 Derby — in which Holy Bull ran 12th — very well, and not too happily: “In my mind, I’m quite sure that it wasn’t a fair race,” says Croll, who is retired now and living in Monmouth Beach, N.J. “I’ve had a hard time getting over it.” (Baltimore Sun)
