As I scan through the days races I often laugh at the names of some of these horses...
There is one running today called "redlorryyellowlorry" a tongue twister you may recall from your childhood..! It must be a nightmare being a commentator these days!
I also remember a horse called "BettySwollocks" some time ago!

These days horse names are how owners express their elitism.

"Spanish Nights" (sic) is code for they have a villa in Barcelona and they knobbed the missus after she came (*wink wink*) up with the name

"Sea'n'Surf" is code for my new life sailing second hand yachts around non-premier harbours of Guernsey

Racing... usef to be the sport of kings, now it's the sport of DickHeads

You'd be throwing your money down the toilet if you back that one in the next at Chelt (14;40) :D

Edt: The horse was called "Thomas Crapper" :D

Well there was a horse over here called "Blackman", but some idiot complained to RISA which forced a name change. I think people are being way too sensitive over racism now, people try to think of other words so they don't have to say "black". I wouldn't think anyone would care if a horse was called "Whiteman". Rant over.
