Best Horse Names

[sq764]

Watching Belmont replays.. 1st race - Place horse:

'Butterface'

Nice...(That's just wrong :-)

[DJofSD]

I seem to recall a runner named Bodacioustatas.

DJofSD

[BillW]

On the cleaner side: :eek:

Daddysmokedcigar - a Dare and Go filly(?) . Is one of my more recent favorites.

[Zaf]

Hesaputz!

Loved when Trevor called his name !

ZAFONIC

[cj]

Hesaputz...isn't that the horse that was forced to undergo a name change a few years back?

[witchdoctor]

Hannibal Lecture (Race caller said that he was eating up the field.)
Closer to home Aamoo (Pronounced Amoooooooooooo) was one of my favorites

[bettheoverlay]

There is a horse called Dating Minors running somewhere. Don't know how that got by the censors.

My current fav is a midwest horse called Spiritual Drift, mostly cause it describes my usual mood. Haven't won with him yet though.

[Buddha]

A few months ago at mountaineer there was a horse named Damifino. Only if he had one the race, you could get everyone who asked if he won the race.

Who won the 5th?

Damifino.

What do you mean, you were here weren't you

Yes.

Well, who won the 5th?

Damifino.

Who?.....

[sq764]

Still the funniest thing I have ever heard was during a harness race at Freehold Raceway. Larry Ledereman is the announcer and those of you who have hear him, know he’s a character..

There is harness horse named ‘Dominatrix’ and in the race, she was winning and his call down the stretch: “And Pierce is whipping Dominatrix down the lane, and she’s loving it”

Yes the Jockey Club required that. I think the owner changed the name and used his son's or nephew's name as a replacement.

Uh, Thanks Dad :o

ZAFONIC

[delayjf]

Marythetwit horse ran at Ak-Sar-Ben some years back.

[Valuist]

I remember a horse named Tihsho would ran in Kentucky in the mid 90s; as Harry Caray used to say, spell that one backwards.

Let's not forget the perenial NW2 claimer Knobgobbler who ran at AP and Haw 3-4 years ago.

[Valuist]

Forgot about the NY-bred siblings:

1. Ham Sandwich
2. With Mustard
3. On Rye
4. To Go

[Lefty]

Hesaputz became Mr. Stanley and never did much after that.
Valuist, I remember Knobgobbler and always wondered how they got away with that one and then a horse named Hezaputz forced into a name change. Doesn't make sense to me.
Also in NY a few yrs ago, "Scorched Panties"

[Valuist]

There was a horse a few years ago named Columbine Sorrow (or something like that) who was racing at the time of the Columbine shootings. They ended up changing the name shortly after the incident.

[sq764]

These are all entertaining names, but what are the coolest horse names?

I always thought Easy Goer and Sunday Silence were cool horse names.

For harness racing, I always liked Red Bow Tie (helped that he won $3 million+)..

[Niko]

I was always fond of Leatherneck Louie, a hard fighting quarterhorse.

Just in case anyone wants to know the name, DURKIN'S CALL. Curious to hear Tom's comments during the running..:eek:

[freeneasy]

[panda1]

kissinthedark

port conwaylane
queen of St mary
rainbow colors

[witchdoctor]

We have a weanling out of the mare Lucky and Weiss (by Lucky North out of Our Edelweiss)by the stallion Capote's Prospect (by Capote out of Ballerina Princess). The name I want to use is Capote Got Lucky. My wife keeps vetoing it. Any other ideas??

[freeneasy]

how about lucky prospect

[BillW]

He was probably expecting to be renamed Mr. Johnson. :p

[Figman]

I remember being "a youngin" and first betting on the ponies with the town's bookmaker who also ran the local grocery store. Used to hang-around with another horse playin buddy for a half hour or forty five minutes after school and have a soda pop and a bag of potato chips. The store also attracted some oldtimers that often kept their friend, the oldtimer bookie, company throughout the day. They used to joke with each other on certain days that "all the women will be in today to get down on their favorite horse at the local harness track." And sure enuff....you would see many more women customers than usual slipping the bookie a piece of paper with some cash - their hunch bet. The horse's name was PETER UP!

[Tom]

that was the name John Wayne Bobbit traveled under to
avoid the press - "Les Johnson "

:(

[turfspec]

For some reason names I associate with Maryland breeding or training. One of my alltime favs - Mr. Pitty Pat. Anyone remember, was it Dumdedumdedum? The JC must have misplaced their dictionary the day ' Frottage' was approved. For cool it's hard to beat Ruffian.

[JustRalph]

Balmoral Park Horse

"Squawshitbluegrass" I think it was a filly.........

Not sure exactly on the spelling but I think that's right.

The announcer at Balmoral....... I think he does Hawthorne now, used to complain about having to say the name.

[PaceAdvantage]

Moved this thread out of the Handicapping forum for obvious reasons....just doing a little house cleaning tonight....don't mind me....LOL

[kenwoodallpromos]

How about naming the horse WeissVeto?

[turfspec]

Witch,

NorthbyNorthWeiss

WeissGuy

[NormanTD]

I didn't really see this one but as it was told to me..

Sire - Smarten
Dame - County Music Singer

Horse - Dolly Smarten

Thanks DJ

Years ago i worked in the bond dept at Smith Barney.
There was a young lady named Gina who was very chesty.
Everytime she would pass the dept my friend Tom would say
she got some Bodacious ta ta's . Seeing the name brought
back some funny memories.

Valuist,
I love that horse Ham Sandwich. I had a Great Neck
Filly in the 80'S named Oats to Go .

[Pace Cap'n]

Not a horse name, but there is a high school football team in the area known as the "Spoofhounds".

Spoofhounds.

JIMMY /ILS

[rmania]

The funniest I ever saw was a horse named Fumducker. Ran for a couple of months before the Jockey Club figured it out and made them change it.

[VetScratch]

Left On Laramie (Chicago circuit)

Probably driving instructions to HAW/SPT clubhouse entrances... West on 31st from Cicero Ave, then left on Laramie.

But one trainer insisted the name was meant to instruct jockeys how to find a stable gate if they blew the first turn on the old SPT bullring oval.

[Dave Schwartz]

rmania,

Actually, the horse was Mr. Phumducker.

But close enough. <G>

Dave

[Valuist]

I remember Left on Laramie. And many a rider blew that 1st turn at the old Spt.

[shanta]

my fav was " boy chick"! forget where i saw him (or her) run a few years ago!

[Valuist]

Here's a vote for the dumbest name: The Wedding Guest.

[cryptic1]

A number of years ago some friends and I had a horse with a
trainer recommended by a colleague. The trainer was a Damon
Runyon character. He had a story for everything. He walked around with an unlit stogie hanging out of this mouth and uttered his pearls out of the side of his mouth.
We allowed him to talk us into having our horse winter at his
farm. The plan was to have this horse ready for the early 4 1/2
furlong races when Woodbine opened in March. The horse was a
hard trying sprinter. He worked the horse twice and found an
early $40,000.00 claimer for it to enter. It won in a hard drive. It came back to the barn extremely tired as it was related to me by a partner as I wasn't at the track. Four days later a partner phones and advises the horse is back in three days later. I question the advisability of this but the partner says the trainer
has barked he's ready.
I miss this race as well. He tries hard and finishes third in another claiming race. I get a call the next day from a partner who went to the barn and advises the horse is lame and he is going to get a shot of bute the following day. I assume the horse is to be laid off to correct the problem as do the other partners.
FIVE Days later another call from a partner who incredulously announces the horse has been entered in a $20,000.00 claimer. I immediately phone up the managing partner
and ask what the hells going on. I am told that the managing partner had met and the trainer had said the horse is fit and can
win another at 4 1/2 furlongs. I tell him if anything happens to the horse we're getting another trainer as this is insane.
The horse runs and finishes an exhausted last. I go to the barn with my partners as the horse is being washed. The first thing he growls out the side of his cigar chewing mouth as we enter his office "he ain't worth a ham sandwich". And with that ended my relationship with my first thoroughbred trainer.
The horse evenually came back five months later as an
$8,000.00 claimer and won. He subsequently became part of Frank Passero's winning streak at Gulfstream racetrack. The horse would have been a hard knocking upper claimer but for our naivete and our trainer's myopic view of managing horses.

cryptic1, learning as he goes..

[Valuist]

Here's a couple more. Breeder/owner/trainer Noble Brown has one horse; it's name? Gimmeone Stall Plse.

Another one from SA: Sex Machine. I'm sure the owner will claim its named after him.

[Claim digger]

Best name I ever saw was a horse by Porterhouse out of a mare called Pasta Fasulla.

The name?

Indigestion

[Zaf]

Hesaputz...isn't that the horse that was forced to undergo a name change a few years back?

1st at Colonial today :

4 Super Putz (MD) 20/1

I guess Hesaputz is not acceptable , but Super Putz is O.K. :lol:

Firm Woody ran in a chariot race today too - the chariot gods aren't as discriminating though, I guess. :D

[Hank]

Great horses with great names,the two all time best imho are COUNT FLEET, and MAN O WAR.

[Humph]

The funniest I ever saw was a horse named Fumducker. Ran for a couple of months before the Jockey Club figured it out and made them change it.

On similar lines, there used to be a horse in England called Joe Blob (or should that have been Jow ?). Surprisingly the Jockey Club there allowed it.

[Cangamble]

I named a horse once, Abolish It. I can't believe they let it get through:). Unfortunately, she raced to her name. I had her for three starts and then sold her for peanuts. Luckily, I was only partners on her.

[HuggingTheRail]

From Canada,

At Exhibition Park (now Hastings) in the early - mid 1980's there was

Hoof Hearted

[Horsefan]

I am tracking alot of two year old race results to see who some of our next star's might be ( I know it's too early yet:)) There is a filly in the Landaluce Stakes this Saturday called The Golden Noodle. It's a match made in heaven for her and The Green Monkey. Imagine the possibilities- The Golden Monkey, The Green Noodle, Monkey Noodles . . .

By the way, in the Landaluce Ever So Pretty, a full sister to Stormello, will be making her second start. She won the first time out.

[46zilzal]

From Canada,

At Exhibition Park (now Hastings) in the early - mid 1980's there was

Hoof Hearted

Announcer refused to prononunce it...said Hoof Heart TED.

[Premier Turf Club]

I remember a horse that raced on the NYRA circuit in my youth named What A Wabbit. I remember during one stretch drive Marshall Cassidy calling

That's What A Wabbit on the Wail...

Mike Peagram has given some of his clever names. Anyone remember Isitingood?

[BillW]

Mike Peagram has given some of his clever names. Anyone remember Isitingood?

The clever thing about that name was that horse was out of Crusader's Sword. :lol:

[bettheoverlay]

There is a horse scratched out of the last race today at Arlington called Thong or Pantie

[HuggingTheRail]

Announcer refused to prononunce it...said Hoof Heart TED.

Yep, that would have been Doug Reid..

[dylbert]

How about funny, goofy one from 1970s, "Akepot Sasnak", better known as Topeka, Kansas spelled backwards. Must have run at Ak-sar-ben?! or Atokad?!

[SaratogaSteve]

Some of my faves from NYRA over the years...

Dolce Dolce Dolce
Achtung
Harvey Pack
Quick Quack Quick
Win

And the best owner w/ names is Caesar Kimmel repsonsible for Bodacious Tatas, Flat Fleet Feet, and the best name of all time, Cunning Stunt...

[KingChas]

Cunning Stunt vs. Golden Balls :eek:

Headlines:

Golden Balls by two!

Cunning Stunt by a headbob!

Enough already ,I'm going to apply for that anchor job on HR/TVG. :p

[KingChas]

[NY BRED]

by Caesar Kimmel, same owner ad Bodacious Tates

[Horsefan]

(Written in good humor) Wow KingChas! As I get to know people here that is perhaps (note I said "perhaps"=non offensive) a very revealing post! Actually it's very funny:) When we picked for his last race on MSNBC no one even mentioned that his name was out of the ordinary:rolleyes: I didn't have the guts to bring it up, let alone the other name. Isn't Golden Balls named for David Beckham. So nice that's Golden Balls is running well. We need these horses with funny names to run well!!! If I see another "AP" in a name I'll scream!!!

[cnollfan]

Quayle, by Deputy Commander out of Oblivious T

At Centennial in the 1970s there was a horse named Kissmarusty. The announcer refused to call his full name for some reason.

[jognlope]

I love

conman cunningham (at SA?)

[Pace Cap'n]

One of my favorites, a filly on the NY circuit several years back--Anita Cocktail.

[reckless]

I know I am dating myself here but there was an old racing columnist that once wrote a column on creative names of thoroughbreds. here were just a few I remembered:

Sire-Porterhouse, Dam-Pasta Fagiole:
Foal--Indigestion

Sire-Tom Fool, Dam-Pansy:
Foal--Social Outcast

[Good4Now]

Calling a horse at Turf Paradise one day
Sky Hoof Hearted.
He cracked up and could barely call the remainder of it...

At a harness track, heard the announcer call
OG's Anita P.

[PaceAdvantage]

Nice Assay

[GaryG]

In Weds at Mth: Backside Action

[Lasix1]

And don't forget those two sophomoric clowns from California, Bob Baffert and Mike Pegram who pushed the naming envelope with:

Isitingood
&
Inexcessivelygood.

[KingChas]

(Written in good humor) Wow KingChas! As I get to know people here that is perhaps (note I said "perhaps"=non offensive) a very revealing post! Actually it's very funny:)

Welcome aboard Horsefan.
All in fun ,was just using horse's names and racing lingo.

A very revealing post?

Indeed, it's called "Perverted Handicapp(er)ing"! :D

[boomman]

4 of my favorites:

1) Yakahickamicadola
2) Mendafendabenda
3) Yo Hoof Hearted (quarter horse)

And then folks in New Mexico started naming horses after people that worked at The Downs at Albuquerque: such as Donthecookster Lizthecookster

and my all time favorite (courtesy of Bill and Trixie Gallaway) and just ran at Sunland in the spring:

Mr. Boomer :D

Boom

Okay watch out The Green Monkey, you might have some competition for the love of The Golden Noodle in the form of Spaghetti Mouse.:)

[jcrabboy]

A gelding named Sportinachubby. That's irony.

[eastie]

Morning Wood and Morning Dilemma were pretty funny.

Believe It , Alydar is Affirmed. Funny -tshirt from the 78 derby.

[juanepstein]

Theres a horse running in australia named Euthenasia.

[Kelso]

These are all entertaining names, but what are the coolest horse names?

I always thought Easy Goer and Sunday Silence were cool horse names.

For harness racing, I always liked Red Bow Tie (helped that he won $3 million+)..


Don't know why, but I always enjoy seeing "Igor" on the MTH program. To myself, I always respond "IGOR!!" :jump: Again, don't know why.

[Kelso]

We have a weanling out of the mare Lucky and Weiss (by Lucky North out of Our Edelweiss)by the stallion Capote's Prospect (by Capote out of Ballerina Princess). The name I want to use is Capote Got Lucky. My wife keeps vetoing it. Any other ideas??Princess Capote

[cj's dad]

I seem to remember two horses distinctly;

one was Bubble Gum who always seemed to stick to the rail and Cabbage, who at Laurel at 40/1 won by a head.

Grusinskaya


greta garbos charachter name in GRAND HOTEL(1932).

she played a ballerina.

[Marlin]

Princess CapoteAs some one who works with names, please do not combine sire and dam to produce a bland name. Come up with something original that means something to you and only you. Princess Capote is lame.

[v j stauffer]

Hannibal Lecture (Race caller said that he was eating up the field.)
Closer to home Aamoo (Pronounced Amoooooooooooo) was one of my favorites

Aamoo won the 1st Woodlands Derby. I called the race. Bobby Lester rode the winner. He was named for a race condition. At A Mile Or Over.

[v j stauffer]

And don't forget those two sophomoric clowns from California, Bob Baffert and Mike Pegram who pushed the naming envelope with:

Isitingood
&
Inexcessivelygood.

Another Pegram classic was Fin Entertainment.

[v j stauffer]

I called Musta Faredid in Detroit.

There was one named Honor and Offer.

My favorite though has to be Nomecourtney.

Buddy Edwards who trained in South Fla. for many years has a little daughter named Courtney.

Each day after a long day at work Buddy would go home. Courtney would burst out of the house and come running into Buddy's arms.

"Hi daddy, Hi daddy" she would shout. Buddy would greet her with a different made up name each time. One time he'd say "hello Mary". The next "hello Alice"

Each time the little girl would sternly correct her dad by matter of factly saying. " No Me Courtney!"

[alhattab]

Sometimes you see names and you have to wonder. Lately there is a horse running (in Illinois?) called Popshandsarehot. Years ago at Monmouth I believe there was a horse named Onlycookhalfofit. Who the hell comes up with this.

And Vic the best call of a tough name I've ever heard was at Saratoga a few years ago in a race featuring Caesar Kimmel's filly Flat Fleet Feet. She's leading in the stretch and Durkin flawlessly says "and its Flat Fleet Feet first in the final furlong!"

[cj's dad]

And don't forget those two sophomoric clowns from California, Bob Baffert and Mike Pegram who pushed the naming envelope with:

Isitingood
&

Rock Hard Ten

[sandpit]

Two very cool name to me were:

The Wicked North
Seven Gold Stones

A funny one from 20 years ago or so:
Ibynshytone (sp?). He went gate to wire one day at Churchill, and Battaglia called him everything he could but what it really said. I think Paul McGee trained the horse.

[LottaKash]

Currently, at the Harness......"IWANNABESEDATED".....:lol:

[falconridge]

There was a New York-based filly, a decent runner active about thirty years ago, by Never Bend, out of Call Card. Her name: Straight (not to be confused with a Left-Coast runner of the same name who campaigned more recently).

Others:

Splitting Headache, f. (1971), by The Axe, out of Top o’ the Morning

Cut the Talk, f. (1971), by The Axe, out of Hot Gossip

and, of course, the Frank Wright-trained winner of the 1971 Belmont Stakes: Pass Catcher (by All Hands).

(Rough night, Vic? What on earth were you doing posting circa 3:00 in the morning?)

[Premier Turf Club]

POSSLQ a filly out of Instant Sin (owned by Christiana Stables I think).

POSSLQ was the short-lived IRS acronym for Persons (of the) Opposite Sex Sharing (same) Living Quarters. :)

[Yorker]

Amongooseamongus took the first at Belmont today. :) :)

Is this :confused: thread for cool names or horrible names...or both?

Cool names: Foolish Pleasure (I am biased)
Some of the names of great ones past: Ridan, Damascus, Jaipur, Buckpasser, Ta Wee, Shuvee, Gallent Bloom, Ruffian....there are so many really great names.
Some of horses not so great: Distant Land, Play on Words, Equal Change, Toasted.

We named her Coldbludedprincess. She was the fastest horse whenever they ran in the field. Unfortunately, she developed an infection as a yearling and died.

At looking at a post from 'Living Flame' here, I remembered another name I think was really good...a mare we had on the farm in Ocala (by Count Fleet) named

"Free Flame"...we also has a mare that was the very first foal by Needles...her name was 'Seamstress'.

Bad names from the farm's mares.... Dandy DoeDoe, Nutty Doughnut, Halibut:lol:

[thespaah]

I seem to recall a runner named Bodacioustatas.

DJofSDso do I..I remeber Marshall Cassidy at NYRA trying to miss pronounce the horse's name. I guess he was trying to "soften it up" a bit..
Other names....Whatta Wabbit......POSSLQ, J.Strap and my all time favorite, Hoof Hearted( Quarter Horse)

Neither of the Gobbler horses are related to Gobbler's Image, but amazing as it seems, I found her:

I just had some :jump: fun and looked up a bunch of mares and the 2 stallions we had on the Ocala farm...I was amazed that I found almost all of them...it's:faint: been years.
Sure brings back good memories!!!

I saw a good one over the weekend:

Palmilla


Don't know if they meant what my sick mind thinks, but after a few beers I couldn't help but wander there.

[YokohamaMary]

Horse that raced (maybe still races) at Monti in upstate NY:


Life is a Cabernet.

Lot of great drivers names up their too. General Washington ring a bell?

Back in the days when Fred Capossela was race caller at NYRA tracks, there was a horse named I Found Gold which seemed innocent enough until you heard it pronounced by 'Cappy' with his New York / Italian accent which transformed the name into something marvelously mirthful ! :)

My Painful Lass caught my eye the other day.

[motorhead]

Would love to hear that call.... Cappy was the best...and Durkin is the best since.

Shakabuku (Ran @FG in '80s) Hall Lass (ELP recently) Tonto McShvartz (NJ in the '80s. Made 'em change name, I think) Who's For Dinner--aptly named... (Saw him lose his MDN 1st start run on turf at BEL because he leaned over to bite Hangover Yank turning for home. Became a very good turf runner sans biting habit. Cunning Stunt.

My two favourites from Australia:

Sex Machine - Sire was Shagny... shag is an Australian euphemism for sex

Far Call - not sure if she ever raced ( I met her breeder, a dear old lady who never really understood why people had a chuckle when she told them the name of her horse.)

[Cangamble]

Ascot In The Gate (Say it with your eyes closed)

She has a two year old offspring running at Woodbine on Saturday.
