He could run backwards and still win.

This would be a great name for a horse.

I think Paynter will have something to say about that....:D

Paynter will kick Courage's ass!

In all seriousness, do you think they had to get permission from the Farley estate for that name?

doubt it. i don't think the name is trademarked.

The name doesn't have to be trademarked to be off limits; it just has to be considered to have significant creative, commercial or artistic significance. Probably comes down to how recognizable the JC feels the name is. Yesterday was named after the Beatles song, so the owner said, but I imagine the JC probably couldn't deny the name as the word doesn't automatically make you think of the song.

Great. I just gave myself an ear worm.

lol

since they got the name, i'm figuring there was no issue. but the first thing i thought when i saw the name the other day was 'what nerve'!! loved those books.

I loved those books, too. His daughter built some costumes for my department at my old job. She was really nice.

i've bought a few of the old hardcovers on ebay. really need to finish the collection. i think that'll be my next project.

Excellent project! I imagine first editions of the first book are probably fairly valuable.

Glad to hear he can talk. This way he can congratulate Burbon Courage when he wins. :p

Don't get me wrong... he's a nice horse (too).

I just don't see this one losing. :)

I loved TCE. I don't know about anyone else but I get a kick out of it that this race has him name associated with it.

That's probably a pretty unpopular opinion but it's mine.

I like Bourbon Courage to win this race with Saint of Saints for 2nd.....

One more chance with the 5.... a little 7 just in case.

I'm with you.

the 5 was one of my road to derby horses so maybe he can make it up 2 me tomm nite

Small bets though, if anything. Waiting for next weekend.

Bourbon Courage didn't seem to appreciate the mud.

:tro: nice call
