The Zucker brothers (Airplane! The Naked Gun) owned a horse that raced in Hollywood Park called It's All Pink. They purposely instructed the jockey to stay on the rail, no matter how the race unfolded...because they wanted to hear the track announcer say, "It's All Pink on the inside."

This has nothing to do with that, but it reminds me of an accidental pun by a German ski reporter who once said: "Sie standen an den Hängen und Pisten" (they stood by the slopes and pistes), but "Pisten" sounds like "pissten" which would make the sentence "they stood by the slopes to pee".

there are other really funny ones that arent rude. Just watched an old clip of a race where one horse was named "the wife knows everything" and another one was called "the wife doesn't know", this sounded confusing when the comentator was announcing their positions : P Another example is with a horse named "ARRRRRRRR", the announcer got real piraty on that one.

My sister is a public school teacher, and as a joke for the staff person who read the morning public announcements, wrote down in pseudo Vietnamese two names of “students” to be called to the office. They were “U Dumh Phuc” and “Mai Long Dong”. Fortunately the announcer figured it out beforehand and it never got read publicly.

In the USA, there use to be a very nice mare named Bodacious Tatas... I think she ran in 57 races in her lifetime. There was also a fan favorite named Stalwart Member - who was a gelding. lol. I've been following horse racing since 1972, when Riva Ridge won the Kentucky Derby, and have seen a lot of clever names. Those in the clip that didn't get by the censors, are funny. I liked Arfur Foulkesaycke the best.
