Top 5 Funniest Racehorse Names
Let's be honest - naming a racehorse is almost as fun as watching it win. And while some owners go for grandeur, legacy or pure class… others go for pure chaos.
We've scoured the stables and scanned the race cards to bring you 5 of the funniest, cheekiest and most unforgettable racehorse names to ever grace the turf. No AI model required for this one, just a sense of humour.
1. Hoof Hearted
Say it out loud. Say it quickly.
(Go on. We'll wait.)
Now imagine hearing it over the loudspeakers at Cheltenham:
"And first across the line… Hoof Hearted!"
Juvenile? Yes. Funny every time? Also yes.
Why we love it
It's fun, childish and guaranteed to elicit a snort-laugh.
2. Geespot
It's the kind of name that makes you snigger like a schoolkid and then applaud like a racing nerd. This mare was sired by Pursuit of Love and foaled by My Discovery… which makes her name not just cheeky, but a clever nod to her bloodline.
Why we love it
It's the perfect blend of cheeky, geeky and creative.
3. Ha Ha Ha
Just imagine the commentator trying to get through this one with a straight face.
"Coming round the bend now it's… Ha Ha Ha."
"Gaining ground on Ha Ha Ha" and… "Ha Ha Ha takes the lead!"
Why we love it
It's silly, childish humour, which is always good for the soul.
4. Wear The Fox Hat
Say it out loud in an Irish accent… just maybe not at work or in front of your nan.
Clearly, the Racehorse Naming Police were off-duty the day this one got registered and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Why we love it
It's pure mischief, hidden in plain sight.
5. Sotally Tober
We'll give you a moment…
Now say it again. Slowly. Preferably after a couple of drinks.
Sotally Tober sounds exactly like the state its owner may have been in when naming it.
Why we love it
It's a masterclass in slurred wordplay and walks the line between comical and sassy.
