Flat Fleet Feet---too hard to say
Lundy's Liability---why name a horse after JT Lundy?

As far as Flat Fleet Feet- I seem to remember hearing somewhere that a friend of Tom Durkin named the horse that to give him a challenge when calling her races- I think they have named a few more along those lines- with the same first letters.

I get some bad names, at least they make some sense and are maybe funny but this one is kinda like they picked to random words and put them together.

There is a horse named Animal Style and every time I see his name I think of that weird song by Bloodhound Gang.

The Skanky Biscuit or the Animal Style one?

We don't have In-N-Out Burgers where I live so I'm not sure on their stuff.

Found a horse that runs at CT, and there is no way that they got the name from the parents

SALMONELLA... A type of food poisoning... bizarre name for a horse.

Could never understand why someone would name a horse Anaphylaxis, and it was used for 2 horses from what I am seeing

This thread was probably the single reason why the Syrians hacked the site.

I've always hated Gourmet Dinner. Just an all around awful name.

To me, it denotes classy dining -- and who doesn't enjoy that? It's a real stretch to think that it implies that horsemeat is the main course. Do you object to State Dinner and Banquet Table, too?

My reaction to the name has nothing to do with it being about horse meat. Actually I've never thought of it that way.

It's just a terrible, bland name. And the ones you posted were not much better. Did they run out of unique name ideas? How do you look at a horse and go, "I'm gonna name that one Gourmet Dinner!"

What next? Tasty Deep Fried?

What's wrong with Tasty Deep Fried? Has sort of an imbecilic ring to it. As for Gourmet Dinner, never really thought about the name much,
I just wish he'd run a little better. I do like him. If the name had not been taken already, it sounds like a moniker that Bobby Flay
would pin on one of his horses... BTW, how did you like Effie Trinkets little run this past weekend? Now that's a great name!

Eagle Eye Fleagle. Found it when doing some random horse progeny search the other day. I have no idea what it means.

Gourmet Dinner isn't too surprising once you look at his family, though. Gourmet Dinner out of Potluck Dinner out of Romantic Dinner by Who's For Dinner.

Wasn't Fleagle one of The Banana Splits?

They've got "Fine As Frog's Hair" that was running out here. May still be.

Life At Zen · Thu Sep 19, 2013 7:51 pm

Effie Trinket is a great name

and I'm very proud of her!!

Potluck Dinner... Romantic Dinner... Don't like either of those. Who's For Dinner is decent though!
