Clever horse names….

I know this has been discussed lots of times but, whilst looking at todays cards I came across Jacobite Rising, who is by Rob Roy out of Petillante Royale [Vertical Speed].

back when the King was on the throne, the dark days of 1942 saw the foaling of Jolly Roger by Blue Peter out of Sonsie Wench (sonsie meaning robust, strong):

Because of my job I like Taxmeifyoucan by Beat Hollow out of Accounting.

There was one mentioned a few years back which I’ve never forgot – Warne’s Way by Spinning World.

Wait For The Will, by Seeking The Gold out of You’d Be Surprised. Owner Paul Mellon had written a will which gave a significant amount of his money to charity rather than to his family.

Love it. Brilliant.
Another one: Mareoflot, by Moscow Society, out of Mrs Pegasus

The older members will remember a very smart horse from the 70s named Muff Diver (seriously; I think Weatherbys changed their naming rules shortly afterwards).

Muff Diver was by Idiot’s Delight out of Deep Diver

Alas, no, wit. I’m still asking myself ‘why’…

Betty Swollocks and Mary Hinge
Both trained by Julie Cecil who was a good trainer in her own right
When she split with Henry over Natalie and started training all the best and older lads went with her.

Slight technicality steeplechasing or did you do it on purpose by Deep Diver out of Idiots Delight.

I remember the Muff Diver, not top class but ran in a lot of quality sprints.

Deep Diver was a top sprinter of the early 70’s owned by philanthropist David Robinson and bought by a 24 year old John Magnier for 400 grand in 1972 as a stallion where he was a failure. What is the equivalent of 400 grand now?
Not sure who trained Idiots Delight, Balding seems to ring a bell.
