And the horse called "My Face" named by the owners just to hear the punters yell "come on My Face"

There really are some super names that a lot of thought has gone into which is great to see these days - as X said, so many just take a word from sire/dam & run it together. Another which has just sprung to mind is Shegotdabutcher There's also the Courtmarsh - Bowled Lillee family which many new owners chose to keep the theme going. |

Mi Preferido x Diana Ferrari. Prefer a Merc.
I always liked the name Tipsy McStagger, don't know what it's breeding was though. And a few years ago there was a filly runnIng around Queensland by Al Jaasi. Her name was La Jaasi. |

Diana Ferrari is a shoe not a car , so that's a bit off the mark prefer a thong would be better

Man walked into KFC and asked for the Julia Gillard meal deal. Two large thighs, two small breasts and comes in a red box.
 (Apologies in advance if anyone finds this offensive but just meant for a laugh).

Hallo,
here in germany we have some horses with "silly names" running doen the tracks. Unfortunately the fun would be 'lost in Translation'
Here are some foreign language names: Some years a go a thoroughbred raced named "Fat Snail"!
Not a flattering name regarding his/her speed.
There was another horse named "Cent Vingt-deux", sound great in French, but in English the horse in question would have the name "Onehundred Twenty Two".
A very good racehorse and later sire name was "Epinard" (by Badajoz), in English his name is "Spinach".
Regards, Ticino

Not sure about the meaning behind it, but I remember a horse called "Thong an Pushbike" which I found quite a hilarious name for a horse at the time.
Some others I can remember off the top of my head:-
More Beer
Half Drunk
Pistol Knight
Sotally Tober

Have to admit, Furious, I know the owner
 They raced 2 mares, Knickers In A Knot, and Richochet Romance, with a bit of success around the bush. They have had some fun naming the foals.

2yo trialling on Monday trained by Gai
named "Cock Match" I can just imagine the boys in the crowd yelling 'C'mon Cock'. etc etc I don't think this name will last very long before a name change happens.

Hello,
every year at the begin of the "racing season" our racing paper published reports about the trainers and they horses they train. Recently I came across a horse named "Freibier" (= Free Beer, yet unraced, 3 year old), so it fits in the following names: More Beer Half Drunk Pistol Knight Sotally Tober regards, Ticino

I like Demaloot Demashoot.
It sounds like a reporter asked a bystander what happened.
