I won a WinStar naming contest a few years back with this name for a 2011 filly:

BLUEGRASS CAT X THEREGOESMSAMERICA - I named her REDWHITENBLUEGRASS and won a key chain. The filly wound up racing in Korea.

When I was in the breeding business (short-lived), I named our horses somewhat less imaginatively.

ISLAND WHIRL X PARTY CUT UP = ISLAND PARTY
WILD ESCAPADE X I BIEN READY = BIEN WILD
MR. LIVINGSTON X I BIEN READY = PRESUMED READY

The late Norman Casse had fun naming his horses. He had one that he called ISITINGOOD. Not sure of the parentage, and always wondered how he got that past the registry. LOL.

Think that was Cesar Kimmel.not Drazin.

His most infamous name was Cunning Stunt. :D

Wasn't Norman still in elementary school when that one ran? He was owned by Pegram and trained by Baffert. A lot of giggles about Isitingood, but it only made me think Pegram was sexually inept.

I'm talking about Norman Casse, Sr. who I worked for down here at OBS ITW in the 90's. You must be thinking about Norm, Jr.

Sometimes I think people make the name of the horses difficult so the announcers have a hard time announcing during the race.

It certainly far nobler than that "sicko" who names his horses after financial terms, who I hope will never receive an Eclipse.

One of my favorites was a horse that ran at Monmouth named Richiefromshoprite, another chicken wing haha.

If/when I own a horse (come on mega millions!) rest assured it will have a human name. I had cats named Pete, Repete, and Threepete. I currently have two dogs, Charlie and Doug. ��
