I can only think of 2 such horses ever:

Australia
Dunfermline

I don't think there are any more.

I have never heard of a place called Dublin Flyer but I have thought of another one.
Berkshire.

must be some kind of ironic joke I am missing here, but Scotland ran in the Chester Vase a month ago, and O'Brien had a whole load of "country" horses (France placed in the Guineas) presumably after they had run out of composers and hadn't discovered poets

Saffron Walden of course, and Halling too if you want to include a village near to where I grew up. Must be hundreds of towns/villages.

There are very few named after banks though. Societe Generale is a spectacular one though

Arthur Budgett named his horses after Norfolk villages,two of these villages are beside each other.

Blakeney
Morston.

Both won the Derby,both were out of Windmill Girl.

A lot of Irish horses are named after places.

Giants causeway.coolmore went through a phase of naming horses after places. The list is pretty much endless otherwise as well
