Horses Not to Bet On

"Free to Good Home," "Sir Limps-A-Lot," "Why's Everyone Running So Fast?"

All excellent names for not-so-excellent race horses. (You can see the full list that Tom recently read on the show, right here.)

Got a few suggestions of your own? We'd love to hear what you have in mind! You can share them right here.

For a harness-racing horse: "hugs+kisses."

(For those who've read a racing form, "X" means "broke stride," and "O" means "ran outside"--i.e. wide. So this would be a horse that was always breaking stride and/or running wide on the turns.)

Eighth Horse

Aren't they limited to 13 letters in the name?
