Down the Stretch They Come....


WORST DERBY NAMES

The Kentucky Derby takes place tomorrow and the odds-on favorite is a horse named Lookin' at Lucky. It also happens to be a pretty good name for a racehorse considering that in the Derby's 136-year history, there have been some pretty horrible names.

Here's a list of some of the worst thoroughbred names in Derby history:

  • Gold Shower -- 1943
  • Black Servant --1921
  • The Winner -- finished second-to-last in 1896
  • Execution's Reason -- 1980
  • Gay Bit -- 1944
  • Dunce -- 1959
  • Quasimodo -- 1934
  • Our Dad -- 1959
  • Degenerate Jon -- 1980
  • Air Forbes Won -- 1982
