Sleeping Indian (Please don't wake this sucker up, cause he can run like hell!!)
Bushfire(Makes me think of the joke about how to cure crabs)
U D Ghetto (and U D man in the Juvy, I think.)

Areyoutalkintome (Gotta love this one. Is this straight out of "Taxi Driver"?)

What a fun contest, Cajun and Buffy! Thanks!

Okay:

Classic: Sun King, because I had a brief flirtation years ago with a very handsome young man named... Sun King. No kidding. I saw his driver's license. His parents were hippies.

Mile: Free Thinking, because I like to think I am.

Distaff: Lemons Forever, in honor of the only two cars I ever owned. Suited them both.

F/M Turf: Toss up between Film Maker and Ouija Board. I'll pick Film Maker, because of the short film my husband and I just shot. It stars sock puppets.

Juvenile colts: Pegasus Wind. I was a big Greek mythology nerd when I was a kid. Enough so that when I went to see "Clash of the Titans" I complained to my parents that Perseus didn't tame Pegasus; the movie was all wrong!!!

Juvenile Fillies: She's Included. As a kid I was a geek and always felt on the outside, looking in. I'm still a geek, but a more socially adept one.

Sprint: Commentator. Because I have an opinion about everything and I usually verbalize it.

Turf: Scorpion. I love the creepy crawlies.

I think I'm going to send this to my husband and ask him to pick names, too. It's his usual handicapping strategy, anyway.

Hey, C and B, can we repick if our choices don't make it into the race?

You have until 11am (FL time) on Nov. 4th to change your picks. I am printing the picks then and am going with what is there then.

Tell your hubby. I will post my hubby's picks too.
