I want her to win. Her fans, for the most part, are morons. If the game can get those morons to start betting then it would be outstanding for the rest of us.

I guess it is in the best interest of the game, but if I see another top 5 all time list with her alongside Citation I'm going to puke. I actually saw a couple lists with Peppers Pride in there under the rationale "19 for 19 speaks for itself".

I think she is a great race mare who has been spotted in soft spots on a new surface for at least the last 2 years, but I just don't believe she is in that rare air. If she wins, it is a big story and validates a lot of what her fans are saying, but I still don't think she has proven herself through a tough campaign. Circling one or two dates on the calendar isn't the easiest thing to do, but it's a low risk strategy. On the other hand, if she loses, the doubters will say it proves she found soft spots on synth and dismiss a compelling career to a perfect alignment of circumstances that included two BC's in California and a handful of races with marginal competition.

I would be more worried about the quarter cracks taking him out.
