BEST HORSE NAMES
- Thread starter rbtblb82
- Start date
Big Alex Walmsley - St Helens rugby-league player.
St Helens play in the sem-finals of the Superleague decider after scoring what one of the most dramatic and outstanding tries ever seen in the sport last week against Leeds. And I don't think that is hyperbole - not much anyway!
Big Alex Walmsley the horse uis now owned by Vantage Point Racing and trained by Newmarket based Spaniard Ilka Gansera-Leveque. Formerly trained by Darryl Holland who hails from Manchester, (obviously pretty close to St Helens). Maybe he's a Rugby League fan or the horse's owner at the time - a Mr John James who only ever seems to have owned that horse. And that was just for one racecourse start!

This is a good one for you guys, he was so good i think I saw a race named after him at Philadelphia Parx
WILLY WANK
1978, by Leematt—Martyinhast, by Hi-Hasty. Bred by Andrew H. Mukina; owned by Anita Czech; trained by Andrew H. Mukina.
Willy Wank secured a place in the hearts of longtime Pennsylvania rac-
ing fans by the time he retired in 1988 as the all-time leader by number of
stakes wins (with nine) at Keystone Racetrack (now Parx Racing).
Bred and raised by his trainer Andrew Mukina, at Mukina’s farm near
Erie, Pa., the gallant gelding campaigned for eight seasons, amassing a total
of 86 starts, 18 wins, 14 seconds and 11 thirds, for earnings of $300,261.
During a stretch from September 1983 to March 1984, the chestnut son
of PA sire Leematt made 10 starts and won five, including the Iroquois, Ben-
salem, Garrison and General Charles B. Lyman Handicaps, the latter while
toting 130 pounds. He repeated in the 1984 Iroquois and also won the Min-
uteman, Neshaminy, Hessian and Bedminster Handicaps during his career.
While the majority of his starts came over the Philadelphia oval, Willy
Wank made a number of trips out of state, winning at Aqueduct and Thistle-
down, at the latter setting a track record for a mile and 40 yards in 1:38.80.
Willy Wank was the first foal, and only stakes winner, for his dam Marty-
inhast, a South Dakota-bred stakes winner.

I thought this had to be a gag, so I Googled it. Astonishing. So many jokes.... so little time.
For the most amusing name, I'm not sure whether anything can top that.
