The Jockey Club, the leading sanctioning body in what’s left of the sport of horse racing in the U.S., sent out a clear message Wednesday to anybody thinking of naming their horse after Hitler: Don’t name your horse after Hitler.
The two-year-old colt Austrian Painter made his racing debut Monday with a win in the third race at Horseshoe Indianapolis Racecourse. Obligatory: He covered the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:04.97, and paid $9.00. Afterward, the Jockey Club received objections about the victorious newcomer, but these weren’t the standard post-race protests about a jockey’s obstructing or dangerous ride or a horse’s drug abuse. No, these complaints were about the horse’s name. Because, as reported by ESPN in its Austrian Painter story, “Hitler was born in Austria and was an artist.”



Registered horse names are so fucking stupid aside from the one racehorse I know named Five. That’s his whole registered name which is so short and honestly hilarious. Oh! Potoooooooo is also great.
You got an issue with Kidslookin Touchable?
Didn’t know Epstein had a horse, but not surprised.
That’s the derpiest horse I’ve ever seen.
According to my wife, a horse girl, KidslookinTouchable is severely inbred.
Jesus is she ever right. That’s like I’m-my-own-grandpa level shit. Now that you mention it, I think I’ve heard of this horse before.
Oh Rick Leek’s Quarter Horses?
It’s no Richard “Dick” Leeky’s Stud Muffin Stable, but I’m sure he does good work.
I came to the thread to mention Potoooooooo, so you almost gave me a clear thread to do so. lol. So I’ll just explain for the slow ones (It took me a while to get it the first time I saw it) - that’s “pot-eight-o” i.e. “Potato” lol
