So I guess we should back Citation's 3 minor allowance wins during his streak out? And Mister Friskey's and Hallowed Dreams' wins were meaningless too because they came in Puerto Rico and LA?

The Lebron James analogy is a bad one. It's not as if Pepper's Pride were some kind of Kentucky bred that was dropped in New Mexico (ala Funny Cide being a NY bred) and was beating up on a bunch of inferior Lobos. She's a New Mexico bred facing similar. And dominating.

If this was a NY-bred or a Cal-bred winning 14 in a row, you wouldn't be taking this stance.
