Title: Worst Race Horse Names
Post by: jjacks1 on October 25, 2013, 12:38:46 AM
Okay last time I said Spineless Jellyfish, then found out some people thought he was cool. How about Rat Like Cunning? (Poor Horse!)

I still can't get over Giacomo Strap. I wonder if he's broken his maiden yet?

Nope, looks like just the one race on 5/30 at PRM, no current works either.

And one of our favorites, You're a Nation, slowed to a mere trickle again a few weeks ago at GG. Poor thing, she really can't run a lick.  Whoever named her that should never, ever be allowed to ever name another horse, period.

Speaking of Giacomo (see above), his daughter has one of the worst names for a racehorse.  Well, that's just my humble opinion.   :(

Bless her heart, she's still running.

You can thank the inimitable Roger Stein for that one.

Still feel bad about Rotten To The Core, by Orientate.  Poor guy suffered a fatal injury last
year at Aqueduct when he clipped heels and fell hitting his head.  Couldn't have been too proud
of his name...

A few days ago I was half asleep when reading something horse racing related.  I thought I read a horse's name was something horrid and looked and I had misread.  So I had to check Equineline and unfortunately, there really was a horse named Motion Lotion (http://www.equineline.com/Free-5X-Pedigree.cfm?page_state=ORDER_AND_CONFIRM&reference_number=1033555&registry=T&horse_name=Motion%20Lotion&dam_name=Ginny's%20Little%20Eva&foaling_year=1985&nicking_stats_indicator=Y) though.

I know there are more than enough Kittens, Slews and Tizzes, but what's the deal with spelling "Super" as "Souper?"

Souper Spectacular was the worst.  :tongue:

Oy, Souper Knight finished 2nd in a little stake at Laurel just now.  :banghead:

LOL! Well, that's souper of her to name so many in honor of the family business!   :lmao:

I also have to disagree with you and say that Souper Sticky is the worst of the Souper names.

Edit to add:  I know someone posted, that Live Oak had named a horse Souper Sticky and its in the Online Names Book for a 2011 horse.  But when I try to search Equineline, its coming up with nothing.  I wonder if she changed the name?

Hip Four Sixtynine.  It just sounds like someone ready to do a sex act.  I understand that horse was actually Hip# 469 in an auction but the Jockey Club dropped the ball on this one.

ROFL! You have a dirty mind, Flanders, dirtier than mine, even. That horse just won over the weekend and the double entendre never entered my mind until your post.   :lmao:

;)  I know, I'm sorry.  The stakes win actually reminded me to post this.  I had saw his name before but forgot to post then.

Just looked him up ...

His daddy was Judge Smells ... who went undefeated, albeit a very short career ... 3-3-0-0 ... including 2 Stakes wins ... one of them being the Grade 3 Hollywood Prevue in 1985. Chris McCarron rode him to that victory.

I remember Stinky Dinky !  As I recall,  he was a real hard tryin' son of a gun, and spent much of his
career at Finger Lakes. I wonder if he's still around?

Anyway, here is a lovely name - Whistle Dick.  And I thought Whistle Pig was bad...
