Holy Bull in his paddock at Jonabell Farm

Holy Bull, the beautiful gray horse that was a huge fan favorite in the early 1990s, has died. Holy Bull, who won the Travers, the Woodward, the Met Mile, the Haskell and the Florida Derby before retiring to stud at Jonabell Farm (now Darley), was euthanized on Wednesday due to the infirmities of old age. He was 26.

Before his pensioning in 2012, he sired Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo, Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner and champion Macho Uno and more. He will be buried at Jonabell, the farm announced Thursday.

Champion 3-year-old and Horse of the Year for 1994, Holy Bull retired with an overall record of 13 wins from 16 starts and earnings of $2,481,760 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001. Although a favorite for the 1994 Kentucky Derby, Holy Bull finished 12th.
