Go Hang Glide!

I predict that even Pepper's Pride finally realizes how unworthy she is, and tanks the race on purpose.

Can't we take up a collection and ship someone in and kick her ass?

You and Chuck could probably put on a horse suit and beat her.
The only thing is, were either of you born in New Mexico?

So let me get this straight.....

Some people complain about early retirements. She's 5 anyway...

Some complain that connections don't actually race their horses enough...

She's won how many races now?

Good for racing? Check. Nice human interest angle... local girl makes good. New fans have to come from somewhere.

On the flipside she's somehow earned the wrath of some people (?).

Yeah that makes a whole lotta sense.

Maybe it's me... maybe I'm crazy.

And some complain when horses duck competition, and that's exactly what is going on here. Hasn't she run over a 90 Beyer before? Why not take a shot in open company?

I don't presume to know why people make the choices they do... isn't there a chance that this is just good enough? That her connections are comfortable with this?

I can understand questioning their choices but NOT the disdain...
