I'm a big fan of Pepper's Pride, Joel Marr and Joe Allen, so I won't get into a fight about the story here. I had Marr on 'At the Races' when Pepper won her 11th or 12th straight as it became clear she was a big talent.
 Marr and his whole family work the New Mexico-West Texas QH/TB circuit. His folks, wife, brother and sister in law, children. All are involved in their operation. That's him ponying Pepper below.  Joe Allen owns Abilene's best BBQ/Steak house and cleverly found sire Desert God and is developing a NM-bred dynasty. He's a guy to admire. I had him on ATR while he was driving to Riudoso.  If people can't see the charm and beauty in Pepper's Pride and this story, they really aren't appreciative of the heritage and lifestyle involved in breeding, raising, training and racing horses.
