My question is this : What in theee world .. were they thinking of ?? And
down the stretch ..."" Here comes Monba ?? """ Ansolutely beyond belief.

When MON archos won .. he put Marias Mon on the map. So why didnt the
owners do this ..... Mon's Man ? I give up. Good nite. :bang: :( :ThmbDown:

:D

Actually THE worst name ever has to be 'The Green :ThmbDown: Monkey" When I first saw the photo of his breeze at the sale, I thought he was incredible looking, and with his pedigree would be one to look at as a great horse...then when I read what they named him, I thought, with a name like that, this horse ain't gonna do anything...wish I hadn't been right about that....but for the most part, good horses have good names.

I for one was happy when he turned out to be a flop. It went from a battle for a good horse to a pissing war for who has the most cash. Turns out the one with less cash got the last laugh, the way I'd hoped it'd be.

AH, yes...good point about the price they paid... one day it's going :rolleyes: to dawn on these guys that spending multi millions for a horse doesn't mean that horse is going to be a runnin' SOB....guess they forget about horses like Slew, Silver Charm ect ect...

But...as far as names go... I still say The Green Monkey is way worse than Monba:lol: ...mamba,bamba, samba, banana,bama, bo-monba :jump:

I still laugh each and every time. Here is the pedigree.

Looks like announcers had fun with this one .. at least 9 times. ( 65 starts with 9 wins ) The horse raced in the 80's. The person who had the video.. didn't have a way to share it with us...until a You Tube hit the scene :ThmbUp: :D

:D :lol: :D Oh wow... hilarious and gotta be considered a racing classic clip!!
His owners must have been comedians!! (not much of a pedigree).

I heard the announcer say the name 'Toasted' in this brief call....when I was rubbing at Belmont, TJ Kelley had a horse named Toasted, I can't imagine it the same horse, but yet, not enough years would have gone by for another horse to take that name. He was just an allowance horse...TJ worked him one morning before the clockers got there, and the horse went off big, cashed a nice bet that day.

Are you kidding me? That a simple name. At least a little thought and creatively went into it.

Not like these pitiful and thoughtless names;

(These are actual racehorse names, in many cases more than one horse has been burdened with one of these horrible names)
Shampoo

Safety Pin

Pencil

Cup

Phone

Walk

Run

Run Fast

Purse

Weird

Car

Truck

Filly

Colt

Mare

Ugly

Bottle

Notepad

Notebook

Computer

Can

Salt

I could go on for weeks…if I had time.
