Couldn’t pass up this chance to talk about Kentucky Derby Names. Perhaps it will help us name our dogs, cats, and hamsters…
Nah, mostly duds in the name department if you ask me. Such missed opportunity! I am kind of liking Midshipman, Nowhere to Hide, and Dunkirk. I for one, am betting on The Pamplemousse.

The irony of this is that the one who won, Mine That Bird, was actually mispelled on my list as “Mind That Bird”! It’s a lesson to me, but I wonder if the owners have encountered any trouble with this confusion before? Anyway, duly noted and changed.
Man. I’d vote for Beethoven. That’s a brilliant horse name.
Of the contenders, Join In The Dance is pretty nice, as a phrase if not as a name.
I love horse betting online. It allows me to put a wager on horses from the relaxation of my own home. Don’t get me wrong, I also love going to the race tracks to get the all-around experience. The Good thing is that I’ve had good lucky recently and I made some money on “Mine That Bird” during the good ol Ketucky Derby.
