so we doing @rtists and p0ets then
No, we are doing artists and **** (the artist) might just count.
I stand corrected, I'd always assumed he was named after WB.
Mikael - beat me to it. Why cant you say **** on here.
Not my favourite, but Gustav Klimt ran yesterday, just in case, it is someone's favourite. John Constable is a decent hurdler.
Why cant you say Y E A T S, when you can say yates, yaytes, **** etc.
Ah Ah - It is Yeat that is the problem. What on earth is Yeat, it is not even a racehorse. It means very little, but the simple introduction of an s will allow you to get away with yeast.
Great post Glasgow - him of the wet moonlit yorkshire scenes.
So Yeat isnt the problem but **** offends the rules. A simple movement of the s to convert to yeast is allowed. Will the addition of an apostrophe to produce **** be allowed. Perhaps not. Tell you what I will try yeatts with two t's just for fun
Unbeaten, ill-fated Kneller was another of Charles St George's.
This is lunacy - Why cant I say **** as written, or **** in capitals or **** with an apostrophe between the t and s even though this is a ridiculous circumvention or not as the case may be. I will ring in the morning and let you know.
Mainly ones where I had bet 100% of net worth and saved me from destitution.
thats him blackbarn, always liked those moonlight scenes and snow scenes for some reason.
Moscow Flyer 2004 tingle creek
Footsepsinthesand 2000 guineas

Doyen
Corridor Creeper - bringing home the ££££ from the front
Johnny Ebeneezer - runs every day so bound to win sometimes

Richie - I know it's late but I think Macs plan is for horses named after artists as per his listing.
Doyen/Court Masterpiece was a £1 double placed using my pocket money. £18 return was the most money I'd ever had in my life at the time.
Hey, that's my 10000th post on here. Nothing to be proud of particularly but there it is, and it was vaguely critical
How embarrassing. At least you wasted your 10,000th post on me, blackbarn.
Leonardo da Vinci he was the second coming for a bit
Oliver Reed trained by Hannon
According to some the human version was a bit of a piss artist

Richie Burnett - Not at all. We have all done it, and I am glad it was slightly educational
Just a late night aside. But, re the Queen's horse Sextant yesterday. I know she takes pride in naming her horses, but this one is a cracker - Sea the Stars out of Hypoteneuse. Bet that was two gins at least. Awesome!!.
This is quite funny, a sober Oliver Reed on the Johnny Carson show telling Shelley Winters to shut up and having a drink poured over him!

Claude Monet deserves a mention, owned by Daniel Wildenstein trained by Henry Cecil won the 84 Heathorn stakes and the Dante stakes before weakening in the Derby at the 2f mark won by Secreto in a photo from El Gran Senor. Was from the 1st crop of American Triple Crown winner Affirmed. Seem to recall there was a decent hurdler of the same name trained by David Gandolfo.
Which also leads us to the great Grey chaser Monets Garden who was a great jumper especially around Aintree where his victories included beating Kauto Star in the Old Roan Chase a race he won 3 times.
Won 17 out of 32 starts.

Yes dealer, saw it win the Lingfield Derby Trial, thought it was the real deal. Think that horse prompted the fallout between Wildenstein and Walwyn.
Bonnard
Boudin Blanc
Whistler
and there were horses with Corot , Breughel, Turner and Hogarth in their names .

Thommo used to love the old chaser "Sir Rembradt"
In every pre-race commentary he used to say... "Looked a picture" and "Should be in the frame"

Another one of my favourites was Vincent, named after van Gogh, who I think ran in the famous Daniel Prenn colours, Black, Black and Green hooped sleeves, Green cap.
and of course there was Gainsborough who won the Triple Crown

Johannes Vermeer trained by Aidan O`Brien.
Degas a useful two year old formerly trained by Paul Cole.
Rothko, another favourite of mine, who won the Saddle of Gold Final over hurdles.

and the decent hurdler John Constable trained by Evan Williams.
Boucher - M V O'Brien's third and final Doncaster St Leger winner.
Ribot was pretty good. Both his grandsires were also named after painters - Bellini and El Greco.
Bellotto...Jeremy Tree....agree about Vincent,loved that horse
Henry Candy had a horse called Jan Ekels, that I remember backing in nurseries years ago, and there was a sprinter called Franz Hals in the 60s, though I can't recall who trained it. More recently there's been a Frans Hals, though he was low grade.
hard job holding the brush between these big paws though
Cezanne was a good horse. Won the Magnet Cup and the Irish Champion Stakes.
Michelozzo...more a sculptor but a bit of artistic licence..
Rosa Bonheur Irish horse,terrific French artist and sculpture. Years ahead of her time.
Stubbs II was a good hurdler. He carried 11-7 in what was probably the best ever running of the Schweppes Hurdle in 1968, won by Persian War with 11-13.
Stubbs was 8th in the weights in a field of 34 declared runners. Sempervivum was top weight with 12-2. Other runners in the race included Major Rose, Hill House, Even Keel, Spanish Steps, Celtic Gold, Supermaster, Indamelia and Specify.

...he nearly came down at the 4th last in that Schweppes, and did well to finish 4th behind Persian War, Major Rose and Sempervivum.
...a fortnight before that Schweppes, Stubbs had beaten Persian War a neck at Kempton in a 27-runner handicap in receipt of 7 lbs. Persian War was 1 lb better off at Newbury.
Some great stalwarts in that Schweppes field ged. Was Major Rose owned by Des O`Connor at some time?
Don't think so, mac. Major Rose was one of 4 Cesarewitch winners that Price trained; another was Utrillo, named after a French painter, who was actually born in Montmartre.
Major Rose was twice placed in Champion Hurdles; Sempervivum once so. Kirriemuir won one, and was 3rd in one. Celtic Gold was the best hurdler WA Stephenson ever trained.
Des O'Connor owned Bermondsey, who won over hurdles and fences for him I think. It ran in Charlottown's Derby as a 3yo, but for a different owner.

...I left out Kirriemuir from the that Schweppes field - also Black Justice, who was a top class hurdler, set to carry a pound more than Persian War. He was also placed in a Champion Hurdle (he finished 5th in that Schweppes, and was hampered when Stubbs blundered at the 4th last).
