“iHorse 2.0″ How timely Neil. Love it!
Hrm…I wonder how long until the iSnack 2.0 jokes become passe?

Sookie Stackhouse because I’m obsessed with True Blood….and because iHorse 2.0 was taken.

I’d call mine “Miss Bradshaw”
October 2, 2009 at 3:55 pm
I would definitely name mine ‘Coco’ after the queen of style herself, Mademoiselle Chanel.

I would say that “Horse Shoe Queen” is a good name, for 2 reasons. 1. Horse Shoe’s are good luck and you need that in a race, & 2. Shoe Queen – is what I and most fashionable people, certainly aspire to be!

I would call my race horse “Bella Cinderella”!

MARE LAGERFELD. Ponytail that horse’s mane up and the resemblance is uncanny. Oh I hope i dont go to fashion hell for that one.

Kismet is one of my favourite horse names. We had a lovely old horse called Kismet when I was a kid and it means “Destiny”.

‘Miss Ed’…or maybe ‘Death to Jeggings’ as in leggings that look like jeans…except they don’t…oh and I can see your underwear

‘Hampstead Heath’. This is where I lived in London. It’s such a fashionable and regal place; it would be the perfect name for a winner!

Black Fashionista…. as my horse would be a black stallion, he would be the most stylish horse there and of course, black is always fashionable in Melbourne.

Just thought of two more – “Frocktober Filly” & “Frilly Filly”!!!
October 6, 2009 at 8:29 am
“Bold and the beautiful”….it would be a stayer (just like the program) . My other name would be “She sells sea shell” just for the laughs.. it would definatley be a chllenge for the race caller.
October 6, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Tornado Tammy…the name my parents called me becuase I was very loud and demanding unlike my older brother. They said having me hit them like a toranado!
October 7, 2009 at 2:13 pm
I would name it “Fashion Misfit” because it’w what I am (whether that is good or bad is yet to be decided!!) OR “ONE HOT MESS” as this is what a lot of the girls and guys look like at the end of a long racing day!!
October 13, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Just thought of one more (to suck up to judges really)! How about GPOLover!
October 14, 2009 at 1:26 pm
How about a horse called…HARRY HIGH-PANTS!
It has a certain ring to it don’t you think!
October 14, 2009 at 8:11 pm
What about…. Miss Fashionator!!
October 15, 2009 at 9:52 am
“Docklands!” Because the precinct needs more exposure and it would be a good way to get the Docklands brand out to everyone watching and listening to the race
