Holy Bull, nicknamed "The Bull", stood high. He was known for his brilliant speed and was able to win from the front or off the pace. "Daily Racing Form" caricaturist Peb captured his somewhat split personality by portraying him as a raging bull with a halo above his head. On the one hand, Holy Bull was aggressive on the track and inclined to bite. On the other, he loved people, leading Croll to call him a ham. "Whenever he sees a photographer," said Croll, "he'll stop and pose. He's getting smarter by the day."
