Alert readers Steve & Keri suggest:
With the recent triple crown win, I thought: what if I owned a racehorse, and what MST-related name would I give it. I always thought “Prince of Space” would make a great racehorse name. Others I like include “Flag on the Moon.” “Satellite of Love,” “Sirveaux” and “Push the Button.”
I think my filly would be called “Torgo’s Knees.”

These are arguably more dignified than Hoof-Hearted, which (I am not kidding) was a real racehorse.

A horse race with Ken in it would have to be all horses named Ken in the same race. Now THAT would be a fun announcer play-by-play!

OK, I like #2’s, “God’s Domain.”
But race him as a stallion. Then, geld him.
Then rename him “Tampered.”

These are arguably more dignified than Hoof-Hearted, which (I am not kidding) was a real racehorse.
Hoof-Hearted’s owner is That Guy who thinks he’s a card. Another of his horses is Peony’s Envy. If I were an announcer I’d be tempted to say, “And Mike Pegram’s Peony’s Envy is coming on strong!”
(…Bill Corbett?) ;)
off topic but
Chris Squire of Yes died on June 27th (co-wrote Owner of a Lonely Heart). i know his name wasn’t said, but it need to be said.
MRxL!!
I was a huge fan of YES growing up and got to see them live. Huge loss for music!
Great topic. It looks like most of the good answers are off the board. But I’ll try:
Win: Garth Vader
Place: Hardware Hank
Show: Johnny Longbow
He sure is hell is funnier than you Eric.

That’s way too long. 18 characters is the max for a racehorse name. :-P

I remember doing this with the video horse racing game they have at Dave & Buster’s quite a while ago. Some of the horses I named were:
1. we got movie sign
2. Satellite of love
3. Rocket number nine
4. Deep Thirteen
5. Gizmonics
I’m sure there were others but I can’t recall them off hand.
