Pretty amazing that the JC fights the 'Sally Hemmings' name but allowed 'Thong and Panties' to go..

If I remember correctly earlier articles about this, had Hemmings' descendants given permission, the owner would have been able to use the name, but they refused permission. As the article said, the JC is a private organization and can set whatever rules they want, as long as the names aren't in violation of laws against discrimination.
Shame- what were the names involved in the pedigree? Colonial Affair and Jefferson's Secret? Would have been a perfect name.

Maybe the worst horse name I've ever seen is entered tomorrow in the 4th at the Spa....
Pizza Maybe the connections own a restaurant or something, but either way a pretty dumb name.

I think the fact that probably 90% of people would not even know who Sally Hemmings was, historically speaking. But the JC does have the right to do what they are doing.
It does make you scratch your head when they allow "Bodacious Tatas" to go thru (dont get me wrong I think the name is great but some could find it a little offensive I guess).

I think it comes down to whether someone thinks the person is being defamed- it's why questionable phrases can get through but names of actual people can be harder to get. Me, I'd be flattered if someone wanted to name a horse after one of my ancestors, but to each his or her own, I guess.

I'm surprised that nobody has tried naming a horse "Mr. Richard Lips."

A few cool horse names would be: Bat Outta Hell, DirtDisher, Stanky Hang-low.
