Needed: Creative name for thoroughbred

**Backyard Goldmine ** plays off Prado and Prospector, so both lines would be represented.

For an Arab-Iberian feel while retaining the reference to gold, there’s Tarik in Faras. Tarik, an Arab commander in Spain, found and appropriated a table of gold (and silver and pearls, oh my) in the citadel of Faras.

That’s all I can think of at this hour. Frankly, I think **Advancing Lawn ** is pretty funny, almost as good as the too-long Like Watching the Grass Grow.

Damn. That was my suggestion!

Others:

Kittycorner
Minefield (in painfully punnish reference to the two grandsires)
Perhaps find out what ‘cat’ is in Arabic?

I got 'nothin.

‘cept a Simpsons reference which I found creative for Mr. Burns’ boat.

Gone Fission.

And I know it has nothing to do anything besides the Simpsons, but there you go.

On Golden Lawn

Hello Kitty :slight_smile: the jockey could wear her colors :slight_smile:
**Goldstrike
Gold In My Ear
Meadowlark
Golden Prospect

Hassan Chop! sorry, couldn’t resist **

El Oro Gato Arabic & Spanish mix of The Golden Cat.

**El Oro Prado ** On Golden Lawn

** El Oro Cizana** On golden weed ( kudzu implication)

**Conway’s Golden Lawn

Howzabout: Lawn Chair.

Since I know Nothing about horse racing and naming, I shall pose a question here:

There is always a plethora of names in spanish or arabic, because of the long noble breeding lines of each country. But, do any horses ever get named in something, I don’t know, celtic or german. I’d pay to hear an announcer hack his way through Ackerschlepper (farmtractor) or some other such consonant driven language.

Just curious.

When your colt does his first race, you must let us know.

Spanish Caravan

Advancing forward

Forawrd prospect

Prospectors meadow

Galleons wind

**Golddust Lawn

Golden Chance

Daddy’s Retirement Fun** :smiley:

Some horse names to possibly help or hinder.

Damnit…now I wanna buy a racehorse just so I can name it that. :slight_smile:

It probably would be viewed as Not-PC. Which is too bad. Think of all the other racial slurs* that could be applied to a horse.:

The Flying Wasp :slight_smile: Oh, wait, that is the name of my future luxury yacht.

*Not a racist.

The only good name I see is Convoy which is so good you won’t get it.

No good racehorse has a bad name so don’t try to be funny.

Garden Party
Garden of Eden …(shit I like that one)
Museum …(The Prado)

But if you know it can gallop and you plan a big first-up plunge on it, then name it

Old Fat Pig Boy

I forgot Birdsong

Mutaway Twitty. Doesn’t mean much but a combination of both sire and dam.

My favorite horse name of all time: Hoof Hearted.

A TB? How about “I’m Going To Be High Strung As Hell With A Tendency To Leap Sideways Thirty Feet For No Apparent Reason, Ensuring That My Cherished Rider Winds Up Eating Dirt EVERY TIME SHE GETS ON MY BACK.”

Oh, wait… that might be too long. :smiley:

I kid! I kid because I love! :smiley: :smiley:

I actually kinda like Kitty Litter.

How about;

Hi Opal (or High Opal)

Bitterroot Brakes

Little Nemo

By the way, you must speak every suggestion out loud to get a good sense of how the name sounds and feels to say. Bitterroot Brakes seems like a weird name, but once you say it a few times…

Speaking of the Simpsons, how about Thanks for the Horse, Lord II?

I guess Mutakddim means “Frontrunner,” then.

Which gives us…

“Follow the kitty”

or

“Chase the kitty”

You can put me down as another vote for “Faster Pussycat.” I had that as a horse name in Derby Owner’s Club (arcade game).

For anyone who’s curious and don’t know, here’s where to go to check out possible names:

More details needed: where, when was the colt born? Where (esp. what state) is it living in now? What’s its color scheme? And we are talking about a male, right? Will he get to keep his 'nads, or will be become a gelding?
