Best Horse Names of All Time

Dr Dre Superman Beats, There are a lot of rules when it comes to naming a horse for example no obscenities, you can\'t repeat the name of a Triple Crown or Breeders Cup Champion and if a horse is in the hall of fame horse his name is off limits so that forces horse owners to be creative.

I\'ve scoured the Internet; I\'ve called some of the oldest horse handicappers I know looking for the best, the coolest, the most suggestive and downright questionable names we could come up with.

When I made my selections I asked myself does this name make me smile. Does Dr Dre Superman Beats the name create a powerful image in my mind? Can I say this name in front of my mother without feeling awkward? Let\'s have a look.

The Past 10 Dr Dre Superman Beats years

The Jockey Club has definitely tightened up what they consider acceptable thoroughbred names so the past ten years are not nearly as colorful as the 100 plus years before. Here are a few of the best horse names of the past 10 years.

Funny Cide - The 2003 Derby winners name is a play on his fathers name Distorted Humor and his mothers Belle\'s Good Cide. But to me the name Funny Cide sounds like a Superman villain some sort of Bizarro World version of Jack Kevorkian.

Big Brown - Named after UPS, Big Brown delivered the perfect product placement. UPS contractor Paul Pompa Jr. named his horse after his biggest customer. Now if only Kit Kat candy bars and Bombay Sapphire Gin would name a horse after me.

Stevie Wonderboy - Owner Merv Griffin said of his horse, \"My horse isn\'t blind he just wears big sunglasses.

Just Really Cool Names

Tabasco Cat - The 1994 Belmont stakes winner was as fiery as his name suggestions. Tabasco Cat put the son of trainer D. Wayne Lukas in a coma for several weeks after breaking lose during a training session.

Nutzapper - Nutzapper was the name given to Andy Hillis\' gelding horse until the Jockey Club figured out the name had nothing to do with cooking chestnuts in oil. The horse is currently named Awaiting Justice.

Ghostzapper - OK maybe I like the name zapper for a horse but Ghostzapper not only had a cool name; he has the heart of a lion. After winning the 2004 breeders cup he could have retired Dr Dre Superman Beats to stud, earning a cool $200,000 per go round (My fees are significantly less) he came back for one more race easily winning the 2005 Metropolitan Handicap.
