"The owls are not what they seem"
I noticed one entered recently: Off Art.

A horse ran at Windsor Monday last called Hornboy.
It seems he was recently gelded so is a name change in order ?
Other recycled names to catch my eye this week
Inkerman ran in maiden for D Wachman also fav for 1978 Derby and 4th Irish Derby for M V O Brien
Gregorian won Diomed Stks. Also 3rd 1980 King George VI and QEII Diomand Stks whentrained by M V O Brien
Tumblewind ran maiden today. Tumble Wind(USA) was a sire late 70s of Tumbledownwind, Julian Wilson's Gimcrack Stks winner 1977.
Not risque but I was slightly amused thinking about the commentary possibilities for Ahead Ahead a la:
Ahead Ahead is ahead by a head.
I was very taken with the idea of calling Po Indieway (hes by Nomadic Way, out of Indian Crown - I wasnt allowed it becuase there was already one at the time who was very similar.) I figured if I could find a Jamaican commetator and he was useless it could be quite fun when he was "in de way" of the others...
I got one bit right, he was useless - never did find a Jamaican commentator to make me REALLY regret not being able to do it though...

Some of you will be interested to know that Peniaphobia means fear of poverty.
It's interesting that the ancient Greeks felt the need for a word to describe a condition that would be regarded as near universal these days.
Would that mean a peniaholic is someone who is perpetually broke ?
Is there a PA association I can join?
Technically, a peniaholic would be someone who is addicted to being broke.
There's a difference.

The 2 horse in tomorrow's opener at Sandown will be giving the commentator nightmares

The older I get the better I was.
I'm sure I've seen the surname Fukuto on TV, possibly something like as a producer of Frasier (which I watch nearly every day!)

If the honourable Paddy the chef Fukuto torpillos his flash Danza on her fantastic tis, it could be his last enchantment......
Good job Dessie Scahill has retired
An owner I know had a gelding out of a mare called Via Gras - if it was one word - anyway, he wanted to call the gelding Ever Hard, but it wasn't allowed. So he called him Everard, which was allowed and I thought was genius.
Micky Hammond has one in training call Enfin Phil which I was a bit surprised that was allowed.
