HOLY CROW…yes Laz he was with Susan E Harris for a few years off and on…she was from the Mi area and then moved to Fl. He was a very successful race horse earning $300,000 the hard way. WOW what a small world. I rode him to 3rd level which was easy since the training was already there. besides I needed all of the help I could get. he was a Saint! I miss that old horse.
My tb gelding was not remembered for his speed but his name, WetWang. I showed him under that name. Many of our friends didn’t want to be seen with us as our names were being announced. The gate crew still remembered working with him 15 years later. My blacksmith loves telling all his other clients about this horse he used to work on. Not a great race horse, but a great friend and hunter for years. 
consider yourself asked! 
What’s the story behind Loose and Leaky?
Lizviola- I’m with you. When I see an additional post here, I jump right on it!
Drifting Cloud- Gay Bar King is a very well known QH sire. YUK!
There was a yearling at the Fasig-Tipton sale last month at LoneStar named Knucklehead. That was such a shame considering he didn’t have to be named yet to be registered and now the new owners will have to pay to have his name changed. Oh gawd…what if they don’t!!!
I don’t think this name is racing related, but yesterday I saw an ad for a Paint filly whose father (or grandfather?) was named Gay Bar King!!!

There is a standardbred mare named Dominatrix. A few yearsago she raced at Saratoga. There was a guest racecaller who is known for “interesting” calls on duty that night. As Dominatrix drew away to win the call was “Dominatrix feeling the sting of the whip and loving it…drawing away to win”
A horse raced somewhere (Calder?) today named Huminahuminahumina. Years ago there was a mother-daughter combo of Dumtadumtadum and Dumdedumdedum.

I noticed the alcohol connection as well! I’ve had two TB’s, the first one’s name was awful. Helen Our Queen. We called her Equinox. She was an awesome eventer, but didn’t race well. The second is Hopaway, which I don’t think it bad, until someone say Hopalong instead! Sheesh!
Life is a journey, enjoy it. Riding just makes it better!

"Oh yeah, I just saw this horse recently: Youmakemethorbaby. Maybe I’m just having a dumb moment, but this name doesn’t make any sense to me. Does anyone have any idea what it’s supposed to mean??
Maybe “You make Me Sore Baby” and I’m just deprived enough to read something sexual in there, hopefully I’m completely wrong, but it’s just an idea!
How can there be another Knucklehead?? There already is one, in fact he just won a race recently at Turfway.
Spinelessjellyfish was the horse on whom Chris McCarron won his 7,00th race - too bad he couldn’t have reached that milestone on a horse with a nicer name!
Along those same lines, recently-retired Eddie Delahoussaye reached the 6,000-win plateau on a horse named Sweetcakesandshakes.

You really did get lucky! I think Judge Not is a great name :0)
My family’s thoroughbreds were Pointer Ridge (mare) and Meremar (gelding). For the mare, she was bred in Maryland and near the PG Equestrian Center is a shopping center called something like Point Ridge center so I was thinking maybe she was named after something in the area. I have no idea what Meremar means/is!
I also have the distinction of giving a horse a name that I now think is awful (not to mention spelled wrong!): Truely Perfection. He’s a two year old gelding getting ready for his first race in about a week an a half. I owe a tiny percentage of him (though I don’t have to pay, yea!). When his owner was looking for a name, I just rambled off a zillion suggestions I could come up with. He picked some of the ones he liked that I suggested and some of his own and sent them in and the JC rejected Eradicate and Notable (too simliar to other names) and picked the next one, Truely Perfection! I spelled it correctly but the owner submitted it incorrectly and now is too supersticious to change it. I’m something of a spelling Nazi and it is driving me crazy!
Not to mention I think it is a terrible name for a gelding, especially a big, powerful one like he is! I mean, his barn name is Tank after all!

There was a horse racing today in one of the Breeder’s Cup races named WhyWhyWhy. I thought that was pretty stupid.

Boy, some of these are really terrible. Someone said that you really do remember the bad names and I agree. The racehorse whose name I remember most is: No fat chicks. 
I actually don’t know if it’s all one word or not as I heard the announcer calling it on TV one night at about 2am as I was falling asleep. It did wake me up though!!
Feeling Her Oats 
and what was that horse who was in the Derby one year? Grits and Hard Toast? Something like that. Not all TB names are bad though - I named my TB filly that we bred “Delightfully Irish” She out of Nicole’s Pleasure, and by an Irish bred stallion Desert Secret. As bad as some race horse names are though, it really is hard to name a TB. I had 2 pages worth of names that were already used, before I came up with Delightfully Irish.

My most recent OTTB’s registerd name is Grabachek. Which he obviously didn’t, or they wouldn’t have sold him to me! His new event name is Have A Heart. Which, thankfully, he does.
…with my Judge Smells baby. I have a 5 year old that came with the rather likeable name of Judge Not, and I’ve kept that as his show name. After seeing some of the handles they hung on some of his other offspring…yeesh!
Xanthus Farm, where Judge Smells stood, has a web site that includes foal pictures from several years, but my boy is not among them! Wah!
Other horrific TB name - a horse I looked at to buy (and happily did not)…Wino’s Joy!
I knew a registered thoroughbred called Spaghetti, her son Take Your Sauce, and her daughter Linguini!
Hey, we can’t forget good old Poker For A Buck!!! OK, that one never really got used but it would have been a doozy… I can hear it now…
“And it’s Poker For A Buck by a nose to win the Kentucky Derby”
I guess I’m glad the Lewis’ didn’t go for it and left the horses name Silver Charm!!!
I want to look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall…

Yes, and Stage Door Johnny sired a foal out of “Out You Go”.
the foal was named ----- Out Door Johnny
And I have not read all of the posts yet, but my vote for current runner with a bad name (other than Spinelessjellyfish which is so bad that it is in a class by itself) is – WalksLike ADuck…
I'm an organ donor. Are you?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well, at least they didn't name it *Out House Johnny*
[img]http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif[/img]This thread periodically pops up on another BB I am on, and for a long time the name “Chicken Lips” got the Worst TB Name Ever prize there - but I was recently acknowledged the winner. I was fooling around with my horse’s pedigree on Del Mar a couple months ago, tracing it waaaaayyyy back, and he has an ancestor called (sorry admins, this is really is the name) - Grey Bloody Buttocks!!
We were wondering on the other BB whether you could even get away w/ naming a TB that now. Any JC persons care to comment?
