The horse doesn’t actually know what its racing name is. It’s more likely to respond to "Hammy" in the yard.

Of course the worst name was RED RUM, especially if you say it backwards!

I’m always intrigued by names that look like they were the first thing a potential owner said about them – like "Iznogood" and "Willitwin".

I guess the bottom line is that if Mr Makhtoum wants to name his horses with names that mean something to him, than he should be allowed to get on with it.

I was lucky enough to breed a filly from one of Sir Mark Prescott’s horses (Dark Stranger) with my own mare (Induna) – I won’t tell you what we called the filly!!<br>
