Full to Sodashi. Not white but I'm not sure what she looks like.
I've only found the one photo and its from a distance.

They didn't give him an astronomy name? Lol.

Maybe Coolmore's names for the 2019 crop are artists. ;)

The bay filly came in 3rd in her second start on Sep 16th.
Hopefully she will be a winner before too long.

And here is the photo gallery of her.

I have many reasons for disliking Coolmore and what they have done to thoroughbred racing via their breeding philosophy, but number one with a bullet will always be their rote approach to naming.

They tried to name Songbird's Arrogate filly but the name was rejected. So hopefully she will be named soon.

The Jockey Club is very consistent in how inconsistent they are regarding name acceptance.

Is the JC actually rejecting the name because of a Lynyrd Skynyrd song? :shock:

Moquest - c. Uncle Mo x Seeking Gabrielle

I would've gone with MoQUIST, since they are trying to market him as a stallion in CA because he's a full brother to Nyquist, but shockingly, no one asked me :lol:

I don't know if I want to swear or laugh but its awful, which is exactly what I was expecting. Mandy's names are trending toward Fipke level.

I had to Google what “arrogate” means...

“ to take something without having the right to do so”

Combined with Songbird, I love the idea of using Christine Daae from Phantom of the Opera. I know there was a mare with that name back in 2007, but the Jockey Club allows duplicate names.

She died last year and was an active broodmare so couldn't reuse her name yet. Its 5 years after the last time they were used for breeding and while her last foal was born in 2018, she was bred in 2019.

Ah, thank you!

Song Gate doesn’t even make sense, aside from being bland.

That name was already used for a Nyquist filly that was unfortunately one of the horses that died during the issues with the Laurel track surface. :( She was undefeated in 4 starts and brokedown during training. But again it shows that the JC has little issues with some names being EXTREMELY similar while others that aren't that close are Rejected for being too similar. But maybe they gave it the okay because she was dead.....
