You see a few that get under the guard of Risa when accepting politicly correct names . One that has been going around lately named ,"Checkout Me Travla" .
Most blokes would know what this little gem phrase means , Absolute gold imo ! I am intrigued what led to the naming without a lot of detail .

You see the same names for horses re-cycled time and time again. I reckon I've seen the name Amon Ra about 5 times with slight variations in spelling. Just the other day I saw Mountebank re-appear, I recall it being an open grade stayer about 25 years ago.

seeyounexttuesday was another which got through.

I don't mind cheeky or risqué names, particularly linked with breeding, however some of the names you think wha!

Does anybodr remember the horse Rimmer and the outrage it had until it was found to be a nickname of one of the owners.
