They were discussing this on the radio this morning. There was a consensus that if any of them were to ever own a racehorse, they would name him "Bill". Yep, "Bill the Horse".

At first, it may not seem that funny, however, when imagined in the context of a horse race announcer calling the homestretch, it actually becomes quite amusing.

"And coming 'round the turn is 'Loganberry Fields', followed closely by 'Ryan's Privates' on the outside! 'Baker's Right Hand' is racing to the finish! 'Dunn and Done' has faded back to 5th... AND HERE COMES 'Bill' streaking past the field!!! 'Bill' is charging to the line!!! (and so on)"

At least, I thought 'Bill' was funny.

I guess you had to hear it.

Whatever.

You can only name it "Back Plow" if it's a unicorn...

"...and pulling up the rear is 'My Gal Friday' ridden by Tim Beresford.... Beresford is an unusual choice for a jockey, and it appears his size disadvantage once again cost 'My Gal Friday' the race."
