I once named a horse "Abolish It" It actually got through. Unfortunately, the horse ran to the proper pronunciation of her name.

I'll never understand how "Muffie's Diver" got through.
Some others I can recall:
Mortor Forker
Wart
Cake Cake Cake (KKK?)

Reminds me of Romeo Jason, he would run his eyeballs out, win by many in really really fast time, not get claimed, get vanned off at about the 7/8 pole because that's as far as he could gallop out. I think he won about 8 in a row or some cool record like that. the fans loved him too. Anyone remember him ?

Funny Buck. Racing today in the 10th at GP.
Mispronounce it and your career as a race caller is over.

Sure do. Have never seen a form like his and probably never will. For several reasons, not the least of which was the way he was managed, Romeo Jason was one in a million. Was dissapointed to once hear his trainer, remarking on the horse's infirmities, say; 'If he had a brain in his head, he would never run a jump.' The guy (Charles Badderly??) should have knelt by the horse's stall every morning and thanked him for being so courageous.

My Peter ran in Ontario a few years back
They let that one go and made them change the name Fozzy Bear.

Fozzy Bear had his name changed to Bold Revenue I believe. It had to do with the Muppet people threatening to sue the owners if the name didn't change, I believe.
In 1995 there was a horse that started in Ontario but wound up in the US named Fugdivino.

I'm sure that you mean "Turducken", a filly who ran at Arlington in 2009. I looked her up, and her dam was named Cool Chicken. Turducken is a fitting name, as a Turducken is a deboned stuffed chicken stuffed in a deboned duck that is stuffed in deboned turkey. It orginated in south Louisiana, and although the filly is Kentucky bred, I'd bet a dollar that the person that named her has Louisiana ties. If you'd like to try the food, go to this website: www.cajungrocer.com It will surely taste better than the filly ran last summer.
