List of Banned Horse Racing Names (Worst Names Ever)

Hoof Hearted

The name “Hoof Hearted” is banned in the UK.

When you read it, it doesn’t seem like such a bad name. But when you say it, it sounds like something else. It’s not nice to say this word out loud. People had fun the first time the announcer said “Hoof Hearted won!”

But for serious tournament moments, it doesn’t fit at all.

DoReMiFaSaLaTiDo

The owner of this horse chose a strange name for the racehorse, but it’s a good story.

The racer won many races and his name is now part of history. I can’t imagine saying this strange word every time I wanted to call my horse. Maybe you could shorten it to something else or what?

Shesellsseashells

This horse’s name is Shesellsseashells and it is a messy name. It also sounds like a commentator’s nightmare when people say it. This horse only ran in two races and came in second-to-last so they do not have to deal with this name anymore.

Sofa Can Fast

Sofa Can Fast is another name that may be banned because it’s inappropriate to announce it out loud. You might want to try it when you are alone, but not in front of other people.

It is funny, but it can also be considered inappropriate for the general audience and especially young kids.

Louis Velocity

Louis Velocity is not a good name for a racehorse. If you say it fast, it will sound like ‘losing velocity.’

And what racer or announcer would want to see a horse ‘losing velocity’ in a race?

Spineless Jellyfish

This is a terrible name for a racehorse and also kind of mean. We can’t argue with the owner’s choices, but this one made it on the list as something you shouldn’t consider!

Clyde Van Dusen

Clyde Van Dusen won the Kentucky Derby in 1929. It might be a great name for a racehorse.

However, it becomes difficult when the jockey’s name is also Clyde Van Dusen. It would be confusing if they both won together!

Other Banned Horse Racing Names
