thought this one is clever - Kissimmee Twice (Indian Charlie x For Kisses) - she's is in the 8th at Gulfstream today

I also remember a 1/2 sister to Ginger Punch named Helena Handbasket. It didn't seem that funny to me until someone pointed out a race call that could end with "This one goes to Helena Handbasket".
