It's a good thing there is a limit to how long a name can be.

How could you hate Flat Fleet Feet? Isn't that what racehorses have?

Second in the fourth race at Keeneland yesterday was a maiden filly named Squatty. Nice pedigree and connections but oh that name......

Some people have SO little imagination.

How about Bash the Bimbo? Or they could have done something with "grind" and "bimbo". . .

Hmm- UT bred- don't think I have seen that before- although I'm sure that they are out there

Can you tell us what makes this name so horrible? (I tried to look up the word, but my Google/Yahoo results were less than illuminating.)

serenassong · Fri Oct 17, 2014 2:42 pm

Never mind- for some reason I was thinking of the word "Oink"- ya know like a pig. I read it too fast, apparently.

BaroqueAgain1 · Fri Oct 17, 2014 3:23 pm

Not surprised...even my Yahoo search kept trying to turn it into 'oink.'
It was either that or the possibility that it was some sort of Hungarian profanity?

the horse linked is oinkus, and oinkus is actually an awful name.

The surprise winner of the Maryland Million Ladies Stakes, at 66-1, Bear Access. It's so close to 'bare as*es" in pronunciation I'm just surprised the Jockey Club let the name go through. It is a nice play on her pedigree, though - by Gators N Bears(I really liked him, may he RIP) out of Media Access, by Devils Bag.

So, I did read that right- just flipped the letters when I went to post.

Dongbang Daero translates to 'Eastern Road'.
