Cajun/Buffy's NAME picking Breeder's Cup Contest
 

OK, here is the fun contest. All you have to do is pick one horse from each Breeder's Cup race based on name alone. No researching or reading PPs, etc... This is a silly contest meant to be fun. Just look at the entries and pick a name that strikes your fancy. I know that you are going to pick your faves in certain races, (Like I am not going to go with Drifty in the Classic or Gorella in the Mile). This contest is just for fun no prize, just bragging rights and we shall dub you King/Queen of something. (We are going to come up with a name.)

Entries due in by 11am on Nov. 4th.

And everyone BE NICE! This is just a fun game Cajun and I thought of just to have some fun. Don't begrudge us our fun... :)

Im really partial to Single word names, obviously. Is it just me or do the juvie colts have horrible names this year???

I like Stormello's name.

You would. :rolleyes:

Classic: perfect drift
Turf:hurricane run
Distaff: sharp lisa
Mile: free thinking
Sprint: war front
F&MT: Ouija Board
Juv: king of the roxy
JuvF: dreaming of anna

the juv fillies was the hardest i thought, i could have picked 4 or 5. the best of all the races i think, i agree the the juv boys do not have catchy names, if for not king of the roxy i wouldn't like any:)

Nothing like having a little bit of fun with the names, my wife makes her pick by using the names. So here we go:

Juvenile Fillies-Cash Included (Wouldnt this be a good way to get rich if this was true)

Juvenile-Scat Daddy (Im sure we told our dads at one time to go away)

Filly & Mare Turf-Wait A While (Seems like ive been doing this at the VA hospital lately, even though I have an appointment)

Sprint-Too Much Bling (Have to agree with BuffyMommy)

Mile-Free Thinking (This applies to people with attitudes I would think)

Distaff-Healthy Addiction (This one isn't for all the junk food eaters)

Turf-Hurricane Run (I had to run away from Rita last year and a 5 hour ride took me and the wfe around thirty hours. Yes I had to pull off and take a nap)

Classic-Perfect Drift (Most of us perfectly drift to sleep)

Might not be the best one's but nothing wrong with having some fun.

JF-Adrythem (..when you get the blues..)

SPR-Attila's Storm (A "hun"-dinger of a name..)

TRF-Scorpion (Nov. 20th bday..)

CLS-Invasor (Sounds cool..)

MIL-Courtnall (MTL Hockey legend Russ)

DIS-Baghdaria (Steely Dan song?..)

F/MT-Honey Ryder (Dr. No)

JV-King of the Roxy (weakest division for names..)

Just like the "old days" when I was a kid and still like many people I know do it.
Whatever works, I tell people if you can cash a ticket!
