Peppers Pride makes me nostalgic for Hallowed Dreams.

It's amusing to see a horse go 17-for-17 when they parlay a perfect trip into a 1.75 length margin of victory at level weight over a filly who has run Beyers of 73, 73, and 60 in her 3 most recent starts...and was beaten at Ruidoso Downs last time out.

Hallowed Dreams won her first 16 races to start her career - and 23 of her first 24 - she ran 10 triple digit Beyers - including a top of 111.

I remember some mocking her because they kept her in the state of La - the horses who were finishing last in those races could have probably trounced Pepper's Pride.

I don't believe HD ever won anything more than a Grade 3 stake - if that.

Only listed stakes, never tried graded company.
She hardly ever trailed at any point of call in her career.

It's a game.

With strategy, and goals.

That's what the connections wanted today, and that's OK.

You naysayers who think it was just a walk must be p*ssed off you didn't take the easy 20% profit.....??
