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.
when she's done and gone, no one will care except those close to her. if a horse goes after the record later, so what. so it's peppers prides record, just like it's najran listed next to dr fager. does anyone think that makes najran as good as dr fager?
i don't see the big deal at all, and i don't understand why anyone makes it out to be one. like they say, records are made to be broken. so she'll be the barry bonds of horse racing.
