Peppers Pride (foaled March 24, 2003, in New Mexico) is a retired, undefeated, multiple stakes winning American Thoroughbred race horse.
She is by Desert God, by Fappiano. Desert God's dam, Blush With Pride, was also the dam of Better Than Honour, a broodmare that sold for $14 million at Fasig-Tipton in early November 2008. Peppers Pride's dam is the Chili Pepper Pie mare Lady Pepper that placed in the 1990 Bluebonnet Stakes. Peppers Pride was her last foal. Joe Allen purchased Desert God from the University of Arizona.
Peppers Pride raced only in her birth state, New Mexico, always against New Mexico-breds, and was ridden by the same jockey, Carlos Madeira, in every one of her 19 races. 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.
At age five, Peppers Pride tied Thoroughbreds Citation, Cigar, Mister Frisky, and Hallowed Dreams (and a paint horse, Got Country Grip) for longest consecutive winning streak by winning 16 consecutive North American races. On October 4, 2008, she entered the record books as the only American race horse since 1900 to win 17 consecutive races, while tying the modern-day international mark of Hong Kong-based Silent Witness. On November 8, 2008, she eclipsed Silent Witness' record with 18 consecutive wins, then extended the mark to 19 on December 14, 2008.
