Last year’s Horse of the Year, Holy Bull, is pulled up during the Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Florida, and Cigar wins the race by five and a half lengths. Winner of the 1994 Metropolitan Handicap, Travers and Woodward, Holy Bull seemed to be steadily getting better and expectations were high for his four-year-old campaign. Alas, after only 16 lifetime starts (and 13 wins), the stylish gray colt will be retired in order to allow proper healing of a strained tendon in his left front leg.
