Arcturus remember him

Broke his back jumping the Ascot water.

Scottish National winner. Trained by Neville Crump. Shouldn`t be allowed. Don`t get me started.

I sometimes wonder if the owners are aware that their horse's name had already been used.

Definitely aware sparrow, imo.

Remember the name well from boyhood days.

As you say mightymac, it shouldn't be allowed.

Only names that are protected are Classic winners. Others can be copied after 25 years. So many nowadays. Roman Warrior, Even Keel etc and I even saw one a few years ago named Grand Canyon.

I remember the original but I don't think you can ban that many names. And I presume this one is  Classical.
