That's going to fit, and that's how you do it.
You register it with the Jockey Club, and the owners do it.
The trainers can recommend.
I was suggesting names to Bob Baffert for a couple of horses he had, and he said, you know, Flatter, your names all suck.
And that was my reaction to how that input went.
But, yeah, well, cheesery.
And it was funny, when you had him on or when you were talking about this Wednesday, I had walked into his barn office.
I'm at Churchill Downs right now.
And the first thing he said was, I've been texting back and forth with Kornheiser about naming a horse La Cheeserie.
And so that was when I got home, texted you and said, oh, yeah, a little birdie tells me.
And that was when you said, yeah, dude, listen to the damn podcast.
You could actually get up to date.
So, yeah, small world.
A lot of these horses that have really blue blood lineage will have names that are playing off of the sire's name and things like that.
So in the case of Le Chisere, I don't know that it's going to be a son of Intimis Chip, who's probably one of the hottest sires going right now, or
or something like that.
But the way you can tell how good the horse is sometimes is how much it costs at sale.
And so if a cheeser is on a million-dollar horse, then they've got high hopes.
