Credit to whoever named this horse, getting it past the Jockey Club while being only one letter away from the clinical name for a Wet Dream.

Another interesting thing about this race was that while this was not a true negative win pool the effective take on the win pool was 15.25% (down from 18%) and because of Net Pool Pricing the take on the Place and Show Pools was 8.89% and 9.09% respectively.

Also note that if there is a negative pool at WRD it wouldn't cost them a penny. The liability for paying out negative pools is borne by each individual bet taker, and WRD is not taking bets.
