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.

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.
Outstanding post with the Breeder's Cup around the corner. We linked it up.
