Wasn’t it one of the Vanderbilts that had a horse called Opening Address, which was related to Decollatage? I also remember hearing of one called Cunning Stunt.

Same with JC, once a horse has started, he or she is stuck with the name.[/QUOTE]
Unless your name was Fozzie Bear, and Jim Henson’s legal team forces you to change it to Bold Revenue. http://www.tripledeadheat.ca/2009/10/horse-by-any-other-name.html

i guess it’s too much to hope this horse was Canadian bred and named for the Toronto and North York Hunt Club huh?
It reminds me of an old bar joke, told by a female bartender. If you think Robin Williams is hairy you should see Mike Hunt. And my husband kept saying ‘Who?’
Mike Pegram got “Is It In Good” by the JC somehow. I always winced when I heard it.
:lol:
I really feel for the race callers that have to do their best to make sure they enunciate clearly 
Another one in the cruel to announcers department, Downbytheseaside. A two year old colt that just set a new world record on a half mile track of 1:50.

Long time ago, there was a horse called Fog Duckin’, and I remember the call to this day: “Here they come, down the stretch, and it’s FOG DUCKIN coming up the outside. It’s Fog Duckin passing them all (insert top 4 babble here) AND IT’S…well you can figure out the spoonerism that was used… Well, there was dead air for a good 30 seconds and you could hear as the announcer asked someone in the background ‘Did I say what I think I said’ and an anonymous voice said 'YUP” and a muffled ‘Oh shit’ was heard. He did regain enough composure to give the prices and rundown but was rather subdued for the rest of the card.
At roughly the same time there was another called Fog Ducker. A friend of mine was anouncing a race and made the same spoonerism. He said he had never been so embarassed in his whole life as he was when he heard the replay. When he told me that story he made comments about people naming horses such things as Fog Duckin, Fog Ducker and Norfolk And Way (who I had contemplated purchasing)[/QUOTE]
(also from sk_pacer … I like the further description)
If you ever get a chance, look up a race where Larry Collmus calls Harass. There was a lot of entertainment value in that last year. She was bred to Mineshaft this year so people may have some fun naming that foal in a few years.
Just remembered a decent mare called Betterfrombehind…dunno how that got past Standardbred Canada.
