Peppers Pride (March 24, 2003 – September 19, 2019)[1] was an undefeated, multiple stakes winning American Thoroughbred race horse.
Trained by Joel Marr, she won races from five and a half furlongs to one mile in length, twelve times in stakes company.
At age two, she made a four-wide rally on the turn to win the New Mexico Classic Cup Juvenile Fillies.
Called the “Queen of New Mexico Racing,” Peppers Pride was expected to try for her seventeenth win on July 27, 2008, in the $55,000 Lincoln Handicap at Ruidoso Downs, thereby beating the modern standing record.
But the track was inundated with rain from Hurricane Dolly just before the day of the race, and Peppers Pride did not run.
In a six-furlong allowance race at Zia Park on October 4, 2008, she succeeded in her attempt to set the record for consecutive wins.
Racing four wide, she made her move under Madeira in the final turn of the one-mile event, then was pressed by the pacesetter, La Sorpressa, but held her off by one length in a time of 1:38.20.
On December 14, 2008, Peppers Pride gave 7 to 12 pounds against a field in the $125,000 New Mexico State Racing Commission Handicap.
[7] Peppers Pride was euthanized on September 19, 2019, at Taylor Made Farm in Kentucky due to complications with laminitis.
