Two that I quite like, where some thought has gone in are
IREADTHENEWSTODAY - by Day In A Life (Beatles fans will get that) and
THE SLEEPY LION - out of a mare called Awimbaway....
Yes that was outstanding Kev, I can imagine you listening to a race with a Beatles themed horse and you bursting into song drowning the caller out....
In the 2nd just run at Bendigo (I was surprised we had no spruiking of this meeting by Noel Stawell tomorrow everybody ) number 1 having his second start was
Whowouldathought
by Ponder was probably justification enough but there is more to it (I think )
the dam is Classic Crouch which surely has to be the 'The Thinker'

What about the trotting winner at Maryborough during the week.
Defence Got Jumped by Wicked Subwoofer out of Mental Power.
Nothing logical there, BUT Wicked Subwooffer has only left one foal, so muct have jumped de fence.
The breeding gives no clues as to ability, but the family did produce Paleface Adios
Good one Noel, I hadn't heard of Wicked Subwooffer and it all makes sense now.
Sounds a lot like the one Brenno told us about 'Daddywho' (see post 67)
Trying to think of Brenno's one I searched for 'Whos My Daddy' - not the one I was after but well named having the breeding

Hi Noel, I know the breeder/trainer of Defence Got Jumped. You are right, one morning he found that Wicked Subwoofer then a 2yo colt had jumped the fence and was in with some mares. He then got him gelded and hoped that he hadn't served any of the mares. Not long after Mental Power went to Adelaide to race and won a few races there. When she returned he sent her to a stud to be served and they informed him that she was only about a month away from having a foal . She was a big mare and didn't even look in foal. Of course he had forgotten about the fence jumping incident by then so it took a while and some dna testing to find the father !
Defence Got Jumped has a heap of ability but no brains ! He galloped in his first 6 starts , often just after hitting the front in the home straight then in start 7 he finally trotted all the way and won. Lets hope he has turned the corner and wins a lot more !
Don't die wondering !
The name of the dam of The Big Show in the first here at Horsham caught my eye. It is a little mean but I like it.
