Critics shunned her then discredited her. The bay filly won more consecutive races than did the great Cigar and Citation. Critics say her connections picked the races carefully.
Don't ALL trainers pick races carefully?! After all how many studs go in promoting they were almost good enough? It's wins that make statistics and wins that draw mares. Pepper's Pride raced into the record books at 17 consecutive wins in an allowance field in New Mexico. A race streak that long no matter what caliber competition is certainly an achievement, but the Desert God daughter didn't stop there. She also went past the international record of Hong Kong standout Silent Witness by winning 19 consecutive races, retiring undefeated. Her lifetime earnings are just over a million dollars. She won at a mile and won at six furlongs. She doesn't have high dollar breeding, true.
