I recently took a course at NYU on the history of the Arkansas Derby.

He made two starts as a 4YO.

He was better than Silver Charm.

You're not the only one, those two races you mentioned speak for themselves. Holy Bull needs no defending, he was...and forever will be..a great one...

His Woodward victory was brilliant....one of the best fields in the 90's

Nope. I too think Holy Bull deserves to be called great. His ability from 7f to 10f was very impressive.
It is just too bad that two of the big "rivalries that could have been," in the last decade or so - Cigar vs. Holy Bull, and Barbaro vs. Bernardini - ended mere seconds before began.
