Didnt Linda Rice train a horse named Soldier Field a few years ago?

Yes - he was 3rd to Favorite Trick and Cowboy Dan in the WHAS 11 on the Silver Charm-Captain Bodgit Derby undercard.

He won a bunch of stake races as well.

You would think as anal as they are about names they would have kept this one on the shelf a little longer

I bet some of the old timers got really confused seeing Tenacious run at Fair Grounds today.

The weirdest one I remember like that was with Willa On The Move.

Willa On The Move got a Grade 1 win in the 1988 Ashland and was 3rd in the Kentucky Oaks.

Willa On The Move - spelled exactly the same way but obviously a different horse - ran a distant 2nd to You in the Grade 1 Acorn than won a Graded Stake at Saratoga in the Honorable Miss.

In fact, Willa On The Move's dam is a half sibling to two Grade 1 winners .. one being Will's Way and the other being Willa On The Move.

When you think about it ... it's kind of weird saying Willa On The Move is a half sister to the mother of Willa On The Move.
