It will sometimes list the sex as “horse”. What does that mean?
Should Peppers Pride be nominated for an award this year based on his undefeated 17-0 record?
What happened to Cable Boy? (Jersey bred)
I have a 4njbets account. Why am I allowed to bet at Hollywod Park when nobody else is?

Guys above got it right. Horses, even early maturing Thoroughbreds, aren't 'grown up' until they are 5 or even more, like your dog may be near full size at 1 and capable of reproduction, but isn't fully grown until 3. Colt and filly refer to horses below the age of maturity (even as foals, weanlings and yearlings). The use of 'horse' , 'dog' and 'cow', which previously referred to only one gender (male, male and female) as the general term for the animal breed confuses the issue.
Peppers Pride has been running against fellow New Mexico-breds exclusively. She may be New Mexico's Horse of the Year, she hasn't faced any horse of real merit. Hallowed Dreams, during her streak, faced and beat open company at Fair Grounds and Louisiana Downs, at least.
Ask the TOC. I'm with Twin Spires (previously BRISbet) and I can't bet Churchill!!
