I have to admit, that "Run Burgundy" is clever and makes a lot of sense for the Point Given given the dam.

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?

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.
