Obscenely Named TBs

[GenuineRisk]

Entertaining article from Slate on why you can't give a TB an obscene name and a lot of names that slipped through the, ahem, cracks.

A horse named Big Tits, creeped through the net and was allowed to race in France.

This is what somone from Weatherbys told me one day a few years back.

Thong Or Panties ran at Kentucky Downs last week.

Years ago, JT Lundy and some of the Calumet people used to try and slide a few by The Jockey Club. They started using acronyms and I remember one, and the story that went along with it -- SOMFAS

Anyone remember what it stood for?

Oh, and another which i think made it through in Europe was Mary Hinge

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Nice Assay (1988)

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Who can forget...

A career maiden (0-for-25 lifetime) named Oh She Hit. She raced at Charles Town earlier in the decade.

The track announcer always had a bit of a difficult time with her name.

(2002) BAGAPOOH

BAG.-- MERTZIE POOH

Bagapooh is also a well known line of compost.

Dixie Normas...Pegram horse. They made him change her name

We had a horse named Soft Hit running at River this past summer. Each time i got to her in the field, i would slow down and pronounce each word of the name slowly, because if i said it fast........you get the picture.

Bodacious Tatas was a pretty good horse for Ceasar Kimmel and trained by John Kimmel. Ceasar also had a horse once named Peony's Envoy.

Also didn't Pegram own Isitingood

[banter]

For An Occasion is a name that also needs careful, slow enunciation

[ManilaRose]

Hall Lass and One Strike No Balls were two of my favorites. Luke had a hilarious call at Churchill when Hall Lass raced one time. He said it as many times as possible and it was very obvious he did it on purpose.

[Buffymommy]
