Like you, I enjoy some of the names and wonder how they came to be.
Some names seem to stick with you, like the horse named Skinny Peter has stuck in my memory. Why was the horse named that.
I think it was Mike Repole who named the horse Stopchargingmaria because his wife had a spending problem while they were building their house. I thought that was sort of funny. And at least when he names a horse Stopbangingthepoolboy, we will know the status of their relationship.
