Big Brown wasn't a bad name? Burgoo King? I disagree with said angle!

Big Brown is an 'eh!' name, not a bad name. Fusaichi Pegasus was iffy too, for me, but at least the Pegasus part (the flying horse of Greek myths) was right. And the name flowed nicely. My example, Capt. Candyman Can, is just too long and choppy. Actually, I Want Revenge is pretty bad, too.

Big Brown was an awful name.

a rose by any other name......names mean nothing-not like the horse knows if he has an awful one.

Actually Lil E. Tee is kinda cute. It rolls off the tongue. Is anybody else annoyed by the forced lack of spacing in Pioneerof the Nile? Square Eddie is a strange name but the horse is cute.

Simple then, if a bad name can't win the Derby then by default The Pomplemousse is the only one left that can win it.

After getting used to it, I rather liked "Fusaichi Pegasus". There's a certain exotic strength and nobility there.....I don't think it's a bad name at all.

Go For Gin and Funny Cide weren't exactly names that conjured up visions of greatness.

A rose by any other name still smells as sweet. Ultimately, the names of Derby winners become household to those of us who care.
