i cheer anything that draws real interest. another horse just last week had a chance at tying-did you see the amount of people who went to that small track to see him run?
You'll have to explain that one to me.
How in the world does it not "elevate" her? If she wins 20 in a row before losing, any future horse that comes along with a big win streak will be said to be shooting for "Pepper's Pride's redord." It absolutely elevates her from a horse nobody would even think to remember to somebody that will be brought up every once in awhile until the record falls.
In my opinion.....that's unfortunate.
