Others may well disagree - However, I found both the below to be somewhat 'out of step' - to try and put it politely.
3:00 Carlisle
Fav - SAWPIT Sienna
Bred by the Owner -out of the Mare SAWPIT Supreme - who has also thrown - Sawpit Samantha
* SAWPIT - For a Racehorse ... Whatever 'floats your boat' ... But definitely not mine.
So - some may say I am being a bit picky - But I feel that every horse deserves a decent name.

2nd fav - Esme Shelby

You would think that he of all people would maybe have some family reverence!
- of BOTH the Name RED RUM (Racing 1) and the COLOURS

Owned by - Donald McCain Racing Club - and ridden by his daughter Abbie

I think I heard them say on RUK that they were the second colours of Red Rum's owner.
second again. That is true as the cap on Noel Le Mares first colours was maroon with yellow diamond. I believe Red Rum ran in the second colours in 1974 and understandably they kept them on for the 2nd and then 3rd National wins. It could be that Le Mare had another runner in the 74 national wearing the first colours.
Googling Sawpit does not help understand OP's objection to the name. Does it have some meaning other than where trees were turned into timber?

How many sets of these Colours are there?
The above - Mrs McCain's Auction Colours - would appear to be IDENTICAL to those carried by RED RUM RACING 1 Esme Shelby at Carlisle yesterday
Meanwhile - The Identical Colours appear on many Photos of Red Rum's NATIONAL WINS.
