if you had a really good race horse, What would you call it?

The trouble here is you have to name them before they hit the track and once they have ran the name can not be changed. You could think you had the next Derby winner at home but on the track it was useless. The same coin flips the other way. One of the laziest, most uninspiring horses I have ever sat on on the gallops was a bloomin good horse on the track!
But if I could I would have a really good horse called The Outside and a really crap one called The Favourite.

I'm pretty sure my favourites have already been used at some point- Badly, Topless, Nicholas. I'd want something a little bit silly for sure

A chestnut called Eddy Red Mane that’s what I’d call my WB if he didn’t already have a passported name.

Or along those lines- naked, slowly, half-cut, backwards, etc
I'm sure there was a showjumper years (decades) ago called Topless, which the commentators understandably hated!

"Pheasant Plucker" at sixteen letters, including the space, meets the limit of 18 letters, but might fall foul of rule that a name should not be "lewd, crude or offensive".
"Fell at the first" is seventeen letters, including the spaces.
"Antidepressants", "Steroids" and "Crack" would be fun. Imagine those three in the same race, and the commentator announcing "Lester Piggott on Antidepressants, Willie Carson on Steroids and Steve Cauthen on Crack".
Ho ho... "TrialForTaxDodging" is bang on eighteen letters.

I think the first is on the banned list as are many that can be mispronounced.

Runcummingsrun as it would be able to go places no-one else can and be chased from behind but always come out on top. It would probably need blinkers as may have eye issues.

I was trying to think of something appropriate for a foal born next year, Lockdown Liaison could be suitable

There is a Horsey McHorseFace I think in Aus. Or maybe I am thinking of Dalgleish's one ... I will go investigate ...
BP one called Lockdown ran on Monday I think in a 2yo maiden.
Eta Grumpy McGrumpface is Dalgleish's horse! I knew he had one along those lines! And yeah Horsey McHorseface is in Aus.

They must have left it fairly late to name it, I guessed someone would use it and we will probably see a fair few versions in the next few months.

Was it in Australia they had a racehorse called aaar or something and it made the commentary sound like a pirate?

"Spatial Awareness" and "Social Distancing" are both seventeen letters.
"Furlough" is only eight, and could cause commentators some twisted tongues in the final furlong.

Had it been spent on the horse or were they hoping to add to it?
Bottomless Pit is probably appropriate for most.

Nah the owners didnt need the money. Though the horse would have been more appropriately named if he was called Box Rest And Vet Bills!

I kept getting the same weird typos on the voice dictation at work. Could be good names although I can't remember what it was supposed to be.
