rude horses

[Philip Evans]

Alan Bailey used to have an owner who gave them silly names (I think they
all went to D Hadyn Jones in the end). One I remember the Chester racecourse
commentator had a problem with was HESFINMENTALTOO.

Spoonerisms are great things.

I remember Mary Hinge and think that Julie Cecil trained this one which was
not a bad horse - not sure about Betty Swollocks.

For those of a gentle disposition look away now.

Going through spoonerisms the one I always waited to see whether they would
get away with was Fleet Maps ;o)

Hi all,
I used to race greyhounds and I tried hard to name one 'Pheasant Plucker'
(being a butcher at the time), but they refused to allow it.
Great shame I thought. I could just imagine the tannoy giving out the winner
and then having to say - Whoops, sorry about that.

Dont remember those, but my fave's were SHY TALK, and more recently,
JAFEICA, trained by Richard Hannon......not a spoonerism but a damn good
mnumonic, and made me titter every time it ran....I nearly used it for one
of my greyhounds.....

For those that don't know.......JAFEICA.....
- Just Another F**king Expense I Can't Afford....the owner bought it for his
wife...

A bit milder perhaps, but I was a little surprised that Nicholas
Mistress got through.

[Johnny F]

I do remember a race at Redcar, I think, a number of years ago that was
called " The Norfolk & Goode Selling Handicap".

Try saying it in a Geordie accent!!

My favourite in the seventies was a horse called Muff Diver. Presumably
the powers that be didn't know what it meant. And then there was Shy
Talk - a Northern (I think) term for a coward.

I can remember seeing a clip of an american race (on a Denis Norden show, I
think) which was won by a horse called 'Hoof Hearted'.

Mary Hinge was definitely trained by Julie Cecil.
I recall Graham Goode actually calling the Spoonerism when it raced at
Kempton (I think) early in it's career.
The same owner/trainer combo also had one called Joe Blob!

Everytime I see SPUNKIE race I have a little chuckle.

Presumably tonights' withdrawal SCHICHT, has some interesting forms to it's
pronunciation ?

I remember a few weeks ago a certain Irish commentator had the pleasure of
"Inside the last, and Slippery Dick is wearing down Foxy Fanny"

Oh how I laughed

You think you got some rude names
In Australia in recent time we've had a jumper called Richard Cranium
and a harness horse called Cracka Fats yet a New Zealand horse called Hooker
had to change its name. I greyhound called Phallic Symbol raced several
times before the officials realised what it meant
