Desert God stood at the U of A for awhile. Wonder if Joe Allen has any relation to Ron Allen who worked with Desert God at the university?

Marr and his whole family work the New Mexico-West Texas QH/TB circuit. His folks, wife, brother and sister in law, children. All are involved in their operation. That's him ponying Pepper below.





Joe Allen owns Abilene's best BBQ/Steak house and cleverly found sire Desert God and is developing a NM-bred dynasty. He's a guy to admire. I had him on ATR while he was driving to Riudoso.





If people can't see the charm and beauty in Pepper's Pride and this story, they really aren't appreciative of the heritage and lifestyle involved in breeding, raising, training and racing horses.
And yeah you tell um Steve. Bunch of haters on here.

There's no hate. Just not understanding why this hose is counting towards Cigar and Citation's win streaks but not Camarero's 56 consecutive wins. Running with NM breds is the equivalent of running in Puerto Rico.

I'm going to call her tater tot. Tater Tot and the Taters.

Just looked it up... Desert God is owned by Joe and Ron Allen! Good for Ron he's a great guy.

Maybe this mare "Hang Glide" has a bunch of nice hicks from the sticks involved with her too. I'll just assume that she does, and will therefore cheer for her to win instead of Pepper's Pride.
I really can't believe that many of you are going to be cheering against Hang Glide. Why do you all hate her so much? I mean she is five years old, she's from New Mexico, and yet MMSC and kgar and many others are hoping that she gets beat in this race. Man, you guys are just mean. What did poor Hang Glide ever do to you guys? People complain about others ducking tough horses and then along comes this little warrior in Hang Glide who isn't afraid to tackle the New Mexican Monster, and you pack of meanies all want her to lose?

Go Hang Glide.

Actually down here she would be called Lil Bit...or Baby Girl...but Tater Tot is all good too even though it must be some kinda Kentucky thang.....:p

Good Pics and remarks Steve....I heard him on your show and HRTV.

yeah like some said above it's apples and oranges, Cigar or Citation to Pepper's Pride.

But it's got to be a really fun ride for them and they sound like really nice horsemen.

Go Pepper's Pride, I hope she wins and beats that sweet lil filly Hang Glide.

They should be commended for earning the kind of money they have with a horse that would be up the track in most grade 3's. However, the human touch has nothing to do with the discussion that was going on and frankly, it's a cop out. Especially with the pictures. :rolleyes:
If only they'd keep her around for the Sixty Sails.....

Yet another brutal attack on poor Hang Glide.
You people are a bunch of heartless bastards.

The irony of all this is that I bet you a hundred bucks these Marrs people are probably the Asmussens of the NM circuit. Probably involved in organized crime and what not. I figure the rib shack is just a front for some cowpie (or whatever they use for currency) laundering operation.

Everyone probably "loves to hate" them.
