Fircombe Hall, a 6 year old running in the first race at Catterick today, is one that might have been missed by Weatherbys.
May 13, 2024 at 14:01 #1694232Couldn’t stand the name Ballyhurry … sounds like the type of name that some snobby, uptight Dame would come up with.
Botox Has. Another pathetic name.
May 13, 2024 at 16:55 #1694245Minella Cocooner and Minella Crooner being IN THE SAME GENERATION!
Surely Mr Minella could have held on to one of those names for a couple of years.
May 13, 2024 at 17:21 #1694250Oh yes, Beef or Salmon, and some wag then named one Lamb or Cod.
May 13, 2024 at 18:28 #1694256I always felt that Al Boum Photo didn’t have a name befitting of a dual Gold Cup winner.
May 17, 2024 at 12:02 #1694581Horse running today at newmarket called
Mehmasself and I
That’s an absolute shocker that name
May 17, 2024 at 14:33 #1694592“Slurricane” won at Killarney on Tuesday. A hurricane. Made of slurry. Lovely.
May 17, 2024 at 14:35 #1694593Maybe they should have lost those Gold Cups on purpose, due to not having a name deemed unfitting.
May 17, 2024 at 15:00 #1694602To truly appreciate the name Al Boum Photo you have to awaken your inner matt Chapman and really exaggerate the boum into bouuuummmmmmm
May 17, 2024 at 15:40 #1694608Or speak French. It’s not that bad a name for francophones.
May 20, 2024 at 20:19 #1695029I can remember a horse called Egg that was around in the early 90s.
May 20, 2024 at 20:32 #1695031Refused to back Mcfabulous, always had an irrational hatred to that name. I get a cappucino from Maccie D’s every day. Sometimes a hash brown, sometimes sausage egg muffin, sometimes mcflurry, sometimes mccrispy, sometimes mcchicken sandwich.
Oh no, I am Mcfabulous!

I remember that too. It finished third on its debut live on TV. Graham Goode commentated on the race. As the horses passed the winning line, Mr Goode quipped “… and Egg scrambled home for third” 🍳
May 21, 2024 at 17:54 #1695089Having been raised on the internet I always raised an eyebrow at A Plus Tard.
May 21, 2024 at 19:10 #1695097Sorry, Miss W, but what is wrong with A Plus Tard?
May 23, 2024 at 07:06 #1695205I’m puzzled too, Miss Woodford
And what did the daughter of Starspangledbanner Navan 2yo maiden winner do to be called “Unexpected Issues”
Can we blame AI too for such a shocking lack of imagination?May 23, 2024 at 21:03 #1695313https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tard#English It’s an offensive term for someone with an intellectual disability.
