Suggestive racehorse names are hilarious

On Sunday the $500,000 Juddmonte Spinster Stakes was run, an important race for racehorses qualifying for the ultra lucrative Breeders' Cup World Championships.

And the winner had quite the name - Panty Raid.

Every racehorse name has to go through The Jockey Club, based in New York and Kentucky, for approval and generally speaking they try to reject suggestive or obscene names. But as Panty Raid suggests, they don't always reject everything. So here's a look back at real racehorse names that were actually signed off by The Jockey Club. Lord only knows how some of these names were approved.

Cum Rocket (1969)
Nut Buster (1942)
Blow Me (1945)
Get It On (both 1971 and 1986)
On Your Knees (1977 and 2005)
Spank It (1985)
Go Down (1963), whose sire was Service
Jail Bait (1947 and 1983)
Barely Legal (1982 and 1989)
Date More Minors (1998)
Golden Shower (1955)
Cherry Pop (1961 and 1978)
Ménage Á Trois (1974)
She's Easy (1978)
Strip Teaser (1980)
Rhythm Method (1982)
Bodacious Tatas (1985)
Tit'n Your Girdle (1988)

You've got to be kidding me with some of those. The only thing I can think of is that some of those must have appeared on the scene before the slang became popular. Still...

Rhythm Method takes the prize.

Simply because it's not outwardly vulgar.

John Ward and John Oxley are offended that the winner of the 2001 Derby is being connected with Panty Raid.
