It's standard they're named in batches that are loosely tied to the sire

Gearoid - Interesting, not all those with entries are even retained in training!

Shadow Leader · Apr 2, 2011

Wave's a crap name. With the amount of scope for a great name within the pedigree, that's a big disappointment!

I did warn you there was some awful ones this year! "Up" is particularly uninspiring

Simon · Apr 2, 2011

Galileo ex L'Ancresse
Montjeu ex Cherry Hinton
or
Oasis Dream ex Frappe please.

In that order, whichever isn't taken. If not, I'll pick again.

Thanks.

lochsong · Apr 2, 2011

Gearoid

How long did it take you to put the list together and type it up? Most impressed.............

lochsong · Apr 2, 2011

Which horses are still available? I'm lost!

krizon · Apr 3, 2011

You think WAVE is bad - what about WHY? Presumably, it's a matter of time until HOW, WHAT, WHEN and WHERE appear.

G-G · Apr 3, 2011

Some really, really poor efforts on the names.
After? Would love to hear the explanation for that one if nothing else.

Diamond Geezer · Apr 3, 2011

Not a clue so the pin came up with

High Chapparal ex Desert Classic

Ballydoyle · Apr 3, 2011

If its not too late to enter could I have Smart Strike ex All Too Beautiful pls?

Could have fun with that name - Eye of Beholder, Strike the Pose?!

krizon · Apr 3, 2011

I'm thinking of future race calling with AFTER: "and now here's After, who's been behind for some time, yes, After is going after those at the front, and now the others are suddenly all after After... ". Oh, no, it'll be a Thommo-fest of terrible puns, I know it!

Super-short names are no bar to being a good horse and I certainly prefer them to ones where they try to squeeze as many words as they can into 18 characters and end up with something illegible/unpronounceable.

Umm won an Irish Grand National, Zev a Kentucky Derby and He a Coronation Cup, so the omens look pretty good for Up.

I said it was uninspiring, not that it would have an influence on the horse's abilit to race

Perhaps they were thinking of the recent (PIXAR?) animation? I've not seen it but have heard that it's supposed to be good, even quite moving in parts. Not sure if it's Sue Magnier's type of film though!

Perhaps - the Grandchildren are about the right age for it.

"And who are you up on, Paddy?"

"Up."

"Yeah, that's what I asked. So who is it?"

"I already said: UP!"

"Aah, suit yourself. Up yours, too."

------------

"Hi, there. Is Up yours?"

"Feck off!"
