We can use "Redboard" for one of the Smarty Jones colts as they are both chestnuts, and "I Laughed" can be used elsewhere as well..

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?

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.

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.

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...
