- There were doubts Holy Bull could win at 1 1/4 miles.
It was said he couldn't handle pressure.
But the gray colt handled pressure throughout the 1 1/4 miles Saturday at Saratoga and won the Travers Stakes, holding off Concern by a neck at the wire.
"He's a true champion, and there can't be any doubters today," said Mike Smith, Holy Bull's jockey.
Tabasco Cat, the Preakness and Belmont winner, was never a factor and finished third, 17 lengths back in the five-horse field.
"I didn't have any horse under me today," said Pat Day, Tabasco Cat's jockey.
Tabasco Cat was followed by his stablemate, Commanche Trail, entered as a rabbit by trainer Wayne Lukas to put pressure on Holy Bull, and Unaccounted For, who upset Tabasco Cat in the Jim Dandy on July 31.

A shame about Dave and his voice here, but there's a reason Durkin's call for this reason is iconic.
Concern is one of the greatest closers ever. He went last to first in the Breeders Cup Classic a few months later.
Holy Bull was one of the 3 best horses I've ever seen run in my life
Which were the other two?
If anyone is still wondering who the BEST horse in America is... your looking at him...HOLY BULL ...as game as a racehorse can be....!!! My favorite now and forever..!!! Love you Holy Bull.... R.I.P big fella

Greetings from Venezuela.
When racing was properly covered.
Jim was the Greatest. RIP
the most important race of the summer
Love Holy Bull !❤️
Holy Bull is and will always be that Super Horse....no debate.
Race Call: Dave Johnson.
Durkin's call was better, of course
Durkins second greatest race call... Rachel topped. imo
I still would like to know who would of won the race that Holy Bull and Cigar were in. However Holly Bull was pulled up on the back side , and Cigar went on to win. Two great runners.
There are people trying to figure it out. I'll let them know to let you know who would have won.
Cigar since he was receiving 12 pounds
Concern won the breeders cup classic there were great horse s that year great jockey s trainers tv people and track people what else can you say 40 years old I was loved to turn the game back and do it again the last 25 have been brutal love the game since Proud Clarion won his derby in the 60s hope it lasts an.
Another season at this point
Concern won the BC, Tabasco cat finished 2nd..
CONCERN

What a terrible and pathetic call. Tom Durkins call is legendary
That announcer sucked!!! How he got his prestige is beyond me. He's not even a pale anything to the and only Tom Durkin
@@racing747 He had a sore throat. Also he was much better in the 70's.
That’s a bit much. Dave’s a legend and deservedly so, but Durkin’s the greatest of all time, and this race might be his greatest call.
It's a shame those not at OTBs or in NYRA territory got stuck with the ABC telecast and Dave Johnson. There's a reason Chic Anderson, Tom Durkin, and Trevor Denman are a class of their own. To say this call is forgettable would be a massive understatement.
