Peppers Pride has been retired and will ship to Kentucky. The undefeated mare will be bred to Tiznow, Eclipse Award Winning Horse of the Year, and the only horse to win the Grade 1 Breeders Cup Classic twice.

Tiznow is the sire of Grade 1 Goodwood Stakes winner Well Armed; and Colonel John, winner of the G1 Santa Anita Derby and G1 Travers Stakes.

Undefeated in 19 lifetime starts, and now retired healthy and sound, only to meet open company... at Tiznow's Kentucky loveshack. Great success.

The shocking truth: Peppers Pride is a shape-shifting alien. She survived the Roswell crash in New Mexico, and she will be captured by secret agents if she tries to leave the state. Mulder and Scully are on the case.

Personally, I respect what she has achieved and thought she was a very exciting part of 2008, but I also think that by now -- after much success in New Mexico -- it would be cool to see her try something different and achieve a new goal. I wish her and her connections the best.

Sorry Robert. Not the longest in history. Longest in N. American history, but not the world record.

He certainly sold it though - great call for a great moment. I guess it's Puerto Rico's Camarero who holds the world record for Thoroughbred racing with 56 straight wins in his home country, from April 19, 1953 to August 1, 1955.

Well it appears that good Ol' ruffchamp1 has run out of videos to chant his tired slogans about Easy Goer,and to knock this fine racemare. He deserves everything he gets and thats a fact!!

I can't wait to be able to go out and visit her!!!

I just read this on a blood horse email.  she is gonna get a shot at being a broodmare,and if she turns out to be as good as she was on the track,oh everyone had better watch out.

19 wins is 19 wins. Perfection, without flaw.

I couldn't have said it any better myself!!!

i dont know if she ran at the appropriate level-nm state bred horses for 19 races? i think alot of people think she might have been able to run at a little higher level-maybe. but she certainly will be remembered just like hallowed dreams.

Anyone who knows racing knows how hard it is to win two or three in a row, let alone 19, at any level. It takes luck, a gifted horse with a strong mind and body, and a wise trainer who understands what his charge's capabilities. PP ran at the appropriate level, and was wonderful to behold. To dismiss her achievements because her humans managed her career so well is ridiculous, shallow, and provincialism at its silliest.

[heartofalion77]

She certainly is a winner, a winner against minor league state bred horses, and her competition for her entire career has been minor league state bred competition. And i said that peppers pride certainly will be remembered the same way hallowed dreams is remembered. and, sorry to disappoint you,but im not ruffc,but i happen to agree with him and others on how supreme his year really was,and how sunday sil. came into the classic extremely fresh and that had a huge impact(not all) on the outcome.
