“In a parallel universe somewhere, on their version of Planet Earth, copious quantities of oil were discovered, not in Dubai, but in my back garden.
I proceeded to buy a string of racehorses, race them all at Meydan, and give them all English names which had no resonance whatsoever for the locals and in fact all sounded virtually the same.
“And as they enter the final furlong it’s Alf Ramsey’s Frankel Dungeon from Trust Me I’m A Frankel….””

This is worse than the old word association threads
Returning to an earlier point, Frankel didn’t obtain automatic protection of his name when he became a Classic winner. It seems absurd, but not even winners of races such as the 2000 Guineas or Grand National get automatic name protection these days. If anyone is interested in which races do obtain automatic qualification, the list is here https://www.ifhaonline.org/resources/NP_2020.pdf. Frankel is on it after he was nominated by the BHA in 2012.

Was waiting for you to nominate ‘Fox Torture Frankel’ Tank.
I don’t know that one; will this do?
Would prefer to see you chased in a “noble” fashion by Basil Brush and his firm Tank tbf.

They will be culled anyway, just a matter of deciding what is the best way of doing the culling.
In the case of fillies/mares it’s been my undestanding that those who win ‘black type’ races; that is, they are eligible to have their names printed in bold type in stud books, have their names protected
And ‘black type’ races are more or less the equivalent of Pattern Races
Have I got this correct?
