Horse Racing

We’re off to the Dubai World Cup due to take place on March 31st 2012, after England Royal Ascot, is an annually held Thoroughbred horse race first established in 1996 and since 2010 held at the Meydan Racecourse in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Last year’s winner was the surprise japanese horse the four year old Victoire Pisa trained by Katsuhiko Sumii. The owner of last year’s Dubai Cup winner Yoshimi Ichikawa took home the record purse for any horse race – a staggering $10 million

This year a few Australian horses are worth looking at including BLACK Caviar, Sepoy, Helmet and So You Think could all race at the Dubai World Cup meeting ahead of England’s Royal Ascot.

Trainer Peter Moody has opened the door for Black Caviar to compete in Dubai after nominating her for two races, the Golden Shaheen and Al Quoz Sprint, at Meydan on March 30.

If unbeaten Black Caviar tackles the Golden Shaheen, the mare will finally clash with Peter Snowden’s champion colt Sepoy.

There are some strict rules for naming horses and this can lead to some enterprising and amusing equine names, some which make it  and some which don’t…

A Brief outline to the rules of  racing horse naming:

• All horse owners who wish their horse to compete must register their names with Weatherbys, the official administrator of the horse racing.
• The Weatherbys register has about 250,000 names which consists of horses that are currently training or raced during the last 20 years.
• Famous racehorse names are not allowed to be used twice so there will never be another Shergar, Red Rum or Arkle even though they are all deceased.
• No name can contain more than 18 letters including spaces, names aren’t allowed whose pronunciation or spelling is obscene or insulting including spoonerisms or rude foreign words.

Love The Races has just published a list of banned Horse names. It’s a shame in a way that they didn’t make it.
