Default Cajun/Buffy's NAME picking Breeder's Cup Contest

OK, here is the fun contest. All you have to do is pick one horse from each Breeder's Cup race based on name alone. No researching or reading PPs, etc... This is a silly contest meant to be fun. Just look at the entries and pick a name that strikes your fancy. I know that you are going to pick your faves in certain races, (Like I am not going to go with Drifty in the Classic or Gorella in the Mile). This contest is just for fun no prize, just bragging rights and we shall dub you King/Queen of something. (We are going to come up with a name.)

Entries due in by 11am on Nov. 4th.

And everyone BE NICE! This is just a fun game Cajun and I thought of just to have some fun. Don't begrudge us our fun...

Here goes nothing...

Classic: Lawyer Ron (I always go with a horse with a "law" name)

Turf: Hurricane Run (because I run from hurricanes here in FL)

Distaff: Healthy Addiction (because I get accused of being addicted to horses here at work all the time)

MILE: Gorella (her name makes me giggle. Looks like Gorilla)

Sprint: Too Much Bling (cause a girl can never have too much...)

F&M Turf: Dancing Edie (cause I visualize someone dancing in the rain I don't know why)

Juvy Colts: Got the Last Laugh (cause it made me laugh)

Juvy Fillies: Dreaming of Anna (because when I was younger I wanted to be Anna Devane because I was in love with Duke Lavery. Bonus points with me if you know what I am talking about. )

Nothing like having a little bit of fun with the names, my wife makes her pick by using the names. So here we go:

Juvenile Fillies-Cash Included (Wouldnt this be a good way to get rich if this was true)

Juvenile-Scat Daddy (Im sure we told our dads at one time to go away)

Filly & Mare Turf-Wait A While (Seems like ive been doing this at the VA hospital lately, even though I have an appointment)

Sprint-Too Much Bling (Have to agree with BuffyMommy)

Mile-Free Thinking (This applies to people with attitudes I would think)

Distaff-Healthy Addiction (This one isn't for all the junk food eaters)

Turf-Hurricane Run (I had to run away from Rita last year and a 5 hour ride took me and the wfe around thirty hours. Yes I had to pull off and take a nap)

Classic-Perfect Drift (Most of us perfectly drift to sleep)

Might not be the best one's but nothing wrong with having some fun.
