You can call me Elmer's if I don't win, place, or show.

In honor of the 2008 Belmont Stakes horse race this past weekend, upost the name you would give to your racehorse.

Thanks to Tung for the ipost.

I think I would name mine 'Ants in My Pants.'
Bad horse jokes: Oceancookie or Receptionariat.
Barbamor would be a great name. IAmNotAfraidOfYouAndIWillBeatYourAss, named after the Yo La Tengo album, would be amazing. The colors for that horse would have to include a skull, fire, naked ladies, a unicorn and some daggers. The roses would be supplied by the Kentucky Derby.

I always liked Genuine Risk -- the first filly to win money in all three Triple Crown races. Man o War is a great name too.
I like the idea of having a horse with no name

Does he run down the Street With No Name?
That probably depends. Where do the streets have no name?
yeah, he runs down the nameless street with a girl who has no face, no name or number...
Those are really only effective in the desert, where you can then remember your own name.
The band America thanks you for once again rescuing them from obscurity and/or being mistaken for Neil Young.
My horse would be called Houyhnhnm. I'd like to see the announcers handle that one.
Dayton Flyer is the name of a horse I bet on once. I bet on it to place, because University of Dayton will never be first in my heart. I won. It's always a sure bet that Dayton's not good enough.

Teen Wolf would be an hilarious name for a horse. I would give it red contacts so it looked possessed. And sharpen its teeth to points. And a prosthetic wolf tail. And it would live in a stable with a sign that said "I kicked Mr. Ed's ass!"
hakuna matata.

what a wonderful name...
I'm actually partial to names that reflect the horse's true destiny, like, "Cosby's Favorite", or "Baby's New Gluestick".
i leave it all on the track

I'm trying to figure out how to reference Eight Belles being euthanized on the track at the Kentucky Derby this year in a humane, sympathetic, and yet humorous way. Any ideas? mb, you should probably stay away from this one.
For all you Boyz II Men fans: Motownfilly.
Paul Revere.

Would the jockey always have to carry a quart of beer?
Valentine.
ass.
Furious D, after the racehorse adopted by Bart Simpson, who has a mane cut into a 'mohawk' and dyed several colors, a leather jacket (yes, on a horse, I know), and an earring.
