Gray Sky gave racing Trenchcoat, Rainmaker, Raincoat, Smog, Storm, Northeaster, Rainy Day and Sprinkle. Watering Can, Water Works and Hydrant, just to name a few. Woolworth had special fun with Ready Maid, whose foals flirted with such names as Skirt Chaser, Little French Maid and Hot Pants. Anywhere and Anything Goes heated up the tracks. Keystone Mist poured out Umbrella Fella, Windshield Wiper, Fog Horn, Rain Forest and Atomizer.
Names are so much better today, for the most part.
You come up with a good one and find there are already 59 requests for it. I'll admit, though, that some of them are crude, and I don't like a crude name. Some are just over the border, and they're funny. What really hurts is when you have a good name and someone buys the horse and changes his name to something horrible. Indeed, it is those inventive identifications that make program reading so much more entertaining, and some mares are just made for naming notoriety.
