If someone throws 15 Sevens in a row at a craps table, are the odds of a 16th seven astronomical? Hardly. Peppers Pride isn't trying to win 16 times in a row. She's trying to win a single race, and the odds are not astronomical. That's not to say she won't be overbet, though.

I have to root against her. I don't want even more horses to share, or worse, beat, the record that Citation and Cigar share, unless that horse is competing at the top level.
