The naming policy will devalue them a bit. Never understood that. Most people subscribe to the axiom that it is bad luck to rename a horse, much like a boat.

I guess it's branding, but now. You have 150 horses named for a defuct entity. Similar to all those Karakorum horses. Well ďifferents, but the same inways.

Just name them as horses and anyone can go on with them.

You're suggesting that people will be less likely to by a fast horse because of its name?
