Interesting race here for commentators: Just imagine listening to a commentary with these in the same race. Can't decide on the best answer Action Girl Big Tits Try Again Give Me Love Broadside
Mine would be named after my feelings towards the great Big Bucks, and would be called Menacing Elegance. Hope everyone is keeping well.
It's not original and no doubt most of you will have seen this but just in case someone hasn't, this is a, if not the, classic [video=youtube;Kqj2hkbDnyM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqj2hkbDnyM[/video]
And then there is the "3rd race at Honeymoon is over Downs." Seen it a few times, but always good for a laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSM8Okj_4TI
Man, that The F****ing House is useless................ On Hoof Hearted, that one must be 60-years old at least, but it's still very funny, especially in a race! (Cyc: Did you notice this one by George Carlin on the same panel as your clip? Funny guy). http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=8rh6qqsmxNs&NR=1
You lot have too much time on your hands I get to name my own whippets when they start a racing career, and my best bit of inspiration (although far less filthy than the suggestions so far!) was with my bitch Lisa. I couldn't get her to race cleanly as a youngster, so she never actually got onto a race card until nearly 6 years of age - they race as veterans at 6 against other veterans. Showing my relief at finally being able to race Lisa, as opposed to endlessly trialling her, I named her New Lisa Life. I managed to give her mother a half decent name, that is still remembered to this day - Lisa's grandmother raced as Belle, her daughter (and therefore Lisa's mother) had the pet name Hattie - and her racing name became Hatt Outta Belle (Batt Outta Hell in case you needed it spelled!) She turned out to be a flyer, best I ever had Sorry to infect the horsey forum with dog talk - I'll fek off now
