Mate of mine, in drunken conversation at local races, had a conflab with another equally drunk punter about what they would call their horses, if they ever stopped pissing it against the wall and could afford to run one....

Mate said he would name his horses after his mother, daughter etc.

Other punter said he would call his horse My Face. Said he wanted to hear the female racegoers yelling out "come on My Face!" in the final furlong. Ahem.

!laugh!

I remember a couple of horses called 'Betty Swallox' and 'Mary Hinge' apparently nowadays racehorse names have to be approved because of this! !oops!

Camilla? now that's one name of a horse I would love to see the queen hollering...Come on Camilla, especially if ol' jug ears was right behind her.

i'm sure i read somewhere that a racehorse name could only be a certain number of letters long, anyone know if this is true?

Think you're right, Diplo---but I don't know how many letters.

Anyone remember the Derek and Clive horse race commentary? Sheer, unadulterated filth.

Think its a max of 18 letters/spaces.

The greatest racehorse name was and forever shall be: Two Headed Sex Beast.

Yes indeed the Derek and Clive sketch still makes me laugh.
