Name and shame

It just about takes the cake. A trotter in the USA bearing the name Off Lika Promdress. How this offensive/sexist name ever got through the responsible authorities in the States is beyond me.

However, I understand that a number of politically incorrect, suggestive and sexist bloopers have also got through the Registrar of Racehorses in this country over time.

Perhaps correspondents can provide readers with a sample of names which have got past the keeper over time.
