Horse name:
Squeeze Play |
Submitted by:
"Marcoump," Marco Island Fla. |
| I thought this was a great name. It is one of the most exciting plays in baseball if properly executed. With so much strategy in riding a racehorse, it's almost like doing a squeeze play in baseball. If it works, you're a hero; if not, just another out. |

Horse name:
Perfection |
Submitted by:
Ashley Erdos, Butler, Penn. |
| I think the name for a triple crown winner should say a lot about the horse.Since today's fields of horses are so competitive it would be incredibly difficult to win. That's why it's name should be Perfection. |

Horse name:
Proud Athena |
Submitted by:
Kate Potter, Rochester, N.Y. |
| I would name a race horse Proud Athena, assuming it was a filly. Athena was one of the greatest of the Greek goddesses and associated with victory. In the case of a colt I would go with Umberto Eco, in honor of one of my favorite authors. |

Horse name:
Sinister Smile |
Submitted by:
Scott Shiff, Sherman Oaks, Calif. |
| All through college I was told I have a sinister smile like that of the Cheshire Cat in "Alice in Wonderland." I've always thought it had a nice ring to it. And I think it fits a horse... a bit of mystery, like you would wonder what's going on inside the horses head when he looks at you. |

Horse name:
Go Cat Go |
Submitted by:
Yubba Yore, Atlanta, Ga. |
| This name suggests lively activity. It rolls smoothly off the tongue; this will enhance the sound as the anouncer makes the call as he rounds into that final turn and down the back stretch and crosses the finish line and takes his place in the winners circle. |

Horse name:
Stockyard Hopeful |
Submitted by:
Chris Wayne, Homewood, ILl. |
| Growing up in Chicago, I recognize the historical import of the Chicago stockyards of the 1920's. Also knowing that stockyards involve cattle and not horses, it seemed appropriate that a horse growing up in Chicago would aspire to rule the more important stockyards rather than the racetracks. This would create a "Stockyard Hopeful." |

Submitted by:
Chris Wayne, Homewood, Ill. |

Gary Cousins, Flint, Mich. |
| Because if I ever did buy a horse, it would be with my daughter's inheritance! |

Horse name:
Cloned |
Submitted by:
Don Tomlinson, Lexington, Ky. |
| He would be sired by Secretariat's D.N.A. You see, when they bury a horse in a grave, they bury only his head and hoofs. All we need is a little bit of either. If they are going to clone sheep for wool, then lets clone some superstars that we would love to see on the race track again. Think of the match races this could lead to. |
