This is just the beginning of one article. Since whe do 4 claimers race for $75000.
The race before that was worth 100k.

A full sister to stakes winner Desert Pride, Peppers Pride is out of the stakes-placed Chili Pepper Pie mare Lady Pepper. Peppers Pride's sire, Desert God, is out of Blush with Pride, dam of Broodmare of the Year Better Than Honour. She has amassed 12 stakes wins, all in races restricted to New Mexico-breds and $861,665 in purse earnings.

Well there's where I saw the 12 stakes wins, so how is that inaccurate??????????? and since when do horses of 4k claimer caliber make close to a million dollars???


Please tell me how I am spreading inaccuracies.
If you want to explain why you want to see her break the record, and argue that others should too....fine.
But come on, don't try to convince people that she is actually a good horse.

800k in earnings? YAY!!! That just puts her a half million behind Supah Blitz.

I don't hate Pepper's Pride.

But the only reason she's not a claiming horse is because of the circuit she's in. Take her to Santa Anita and she'd be a 50,000 claimer.

Well then why dont people in California take their 50k claimer to NM win 20 races in a row and make over a mil with all their horses. That would be the smart thing to do wouldnt it.

I apologize for my ignorance earlier. I can see you clearly know what you are talking about here.
