My Mom and Dad raised and raced greyhounds when I was in high school and my Dad named one dog PHFFFFT! (complete with exclamation point). When the announcer called the dog's name it sounded like he was sneezing. :D:

Hey there! That's MY neck of the woods! *Giggle.* You picked a good weekend to come. Did you get the Shirt on Sunday? My roommate went spinning for it.

No, we just went on Saturday. Sunday was sleep-in-and-then-travel-home day. (Though when I went last year we went on a Sunday and got a nice big Saratoga umbrella)

No, but other interesting-named horses that day included: Yogonaluvme, Guessing Game, Love for a Price, Hard To Explain, Nikkinikkinikki, Champs Elysees and Goo Goo Eyes. :)

somebody told me once that there are rules governing how horses are named--can't be anything insulting to the horse, obscene, or derogatory in any way. I once watched some of a dressage or other horse event, and it was all mares except for one stallion--whose name was I Love You. Well, maybe there was a gelding or two, it was so long ago.
