Does anyone have a text list of horse names?

I'm looking for a text list, excel spreadsheet or something with tons of horse names on it. Just anything where I can copy and paste the names from. It seems easy enough, but I haven't had much luck in finding something like it.


Thanks

I just wanted to make a generator out of it and see what new names would be created.



As many as possible.

You could use beautifulsoup in python and screenscrape every horse’s name in history if you give it a couple days of technical thought. It’s really not that hard once you get the hang of it, that website is so simple that it’s probably in basic xml

I'll look into it.

I can copy and paste or screencap. I can basically remove anything from what I can copy and paste.

I had 30,000 from an EU spreadsheet I found years ago and I was able to get another 30,000 from http://www.northamericanclassrankings.com/


I'd love to get all the names off of JBIS or Equibase, but I can't think of a way to get past doing every single page right now.

I've come up with a good one. Not sure the Jockey Club would approve:

Sofa King Obvious

Could be a son of Obviously, or Sun King.
