Yeah, they change them constantly before they run. the coolmore team have loads of names reserved with Weatherbys, which costs quite a bit but it's small change for them. If they think it will be good they name it after a famous person apparently.

The latest name i have heard is the Russian name, and as far as i'm aware they changed it from greatwallofchina.

But as you say, no matter what it's name is lets hope he is a bit special...... from what i've been told, he might just be that.
