I had a tickerfactory for my mare's foal and I wasn't jinx'd. But I felt I'd be jinx if I told anyone what name we'd picked for him before he was born.
thanks everyone. it took us 16months to make our mind up as she is the most important thing in my life (more than the OH) i am so excited and having a ticker factory is the icing on the cake.
