That's a great idea Steve. I admit, my main issue with Redboard was just that try as I might, it didn't remind me of the racing term, it just sounded like a word that started with Red that I phonetically wasn't as enamored by. Who's ever heard the word "board" and thought it sounded particularly poetic?

I Laughed is one of my favorite lil sayings on this board and Run Burgundy is so much fun. I now feel compelled to watch Anchorman. I was wondering what you'll use to refer to them on the board. RB? IL? Or is it gonna be like SumWon and shorten part of it?

sweet. i like all three names, but i like run burgundy the best-go figure! :) lots of fun trying to pull out a name, everyone seems to enjoy fooling around with ideas.

If we're gonna try to get this sort of thing in for the future, we must be sneaky. How about Tufta Tease? Say it fast a few times.

I was just gonna send a PM congrats Danzig! Seriously the whole patting oneself on the back thing wouldn't be remotely out of line. Of course if you're going for celebration, remember Willy Wonka... "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker."

There was a grass horse a few years back that ran the CRC-Tampa circuit named Redboard Phil (pretty sure he was trained by Kathleen O'Connell). I loved that horse because of the name. I always imagined some dude named Phil embarrassed as hell everytime he heard Saltsman or Grunder call his name during a race.

Me likey.

evah

Redboard is NO BUENO!

iggylist

Get up with the " Run Burgandy"!!!

ditto. that's great.

i wasn't trying to pat my back, hope i didn't sound too full of myself. just glad to be part of all of this.

i went with redboard.

best of luck.

can you tell us more about this horse?

how old? mom and dad? etc...etc....

single brown gelding, 3yo, enjoys long walks on the beach and candlelight oats and hay parties by the barnyard. Father sleeps with many, Mother with precious few.

3 year old

Details....:rolleyes:

i like that.

Oh no not at all, I just meant it was clever and you deserve your kudos so grab'em with gusto.

Thanks to everyone for their great suggestions and for your votes...

The Point Given gelding name has received the final word Simon seal of approval, and will be RUN BURGUNDY. Congrats and thanks to Danzig for the inspiration on the name.

In addition, ELLO ELLE, ("LOL") which emerged out of no where from Bigs and is terrific, will be used on the 2yo Northern Afleet filly, (or possibly the NY bred yearling filly). Thanks to Mike.

We'll be back with more thoughts on the Smarty Jones colts... One has a working name already, but we may use Antitrust's popular REDBOARD on the other...

it's a great name, nice take on the LOL.
can't believe i had a hand in naming a racehorse, that's amazing.

best evah

Steve -- I like the Run Burgundy name.

Maybe we need a Chianti variant in the future? LOL...

fava beans.

Yeah Ello Elle is so cute. I got to name a Skip Away colt once--well sort of. There was an expression I still love and want to hold on to in case the JC would still let me use it but the person who bred the colt decided to make it singular instead of plural, which I get, but it makes less sense since it relates to old time sailing and exploration. It's a very specific term. Oh well, the lil bugger's 4 now and adorable. I was still proud.

This won't influence your handicapping decision for his debut, will it?;)

not at all.
tricky part is getting someone to make a bet for me...unless of course i drive to oaklawn and do it myself.

Any of us here would do it(up to a certain point).

You'll want the ticket voucher, and you should be there for the picture in the winner's circle following the race

Longest Sentence Evah.

Yay, 'Zig! :D

Hey, can we please have the obligatory photo of Ron Burgandy posted? :rolleyes:

Nope, Caroline Kennedy used so many "like"s and "you know"s the other day that I'm pretty sure she's still saying her sentence. I will triumph one day though, never fear.

especially since the one I added had 13 more votes than yours ;) ;) :{>:

Reminds me of the 2000 presidential election!!! :p

I love that name Run Burgundy though!

i think your 'redboard' is going to one of the smarty jones colts.

How did Ron Jeremy wind up in a thread about a gelding?

How do you know who that is

wait, did Run Burgundy win?

good question. perhaps someone thought about what 'san diego' means in german, so that eventually lead to jeremy...

yep, the point given gelding will be run burgundy, with redboard going to one of the smarty jones colts.

What is the working name?
