We like to think the internet within the past half decade or so has honed shitposting down to a science but racing horse names have us beat by decades

This is a case of necessity is the mother of invention- for both race horses and purebred show animals, every.single.animal. needs to have a unique name for record keeping purposes.

Imagine trying to come up with a cool username if you aren’t allowed to add random numbers and underscores- only pronounceable words. Now imagine that this website has had tens of millions of users, and even after someone leaves the site their username can never be recycled.

WELCOME TO PEDIGREE SHITPOST BINGO

Pedigree Shitpost Bingo would make a great horse name

I’d bet on Pedigree Shitpost Bingo.

(also tagging @pikestaff)

LISTEN this is only going to work under set conditions, like I think it might work for quarter horses (don’t quote me on that) but for thoroughbred race horses in the United States (i.e. the ones who run all the big races like Kentucky Derby, etc.) you’re limited to eighteen characters including spaces when a horse is registered with The Jockey Club.

Therefore you could have a horse named Pedigree Bingo, or Shitpost Bingo, or Pedigree Shitpost

But unfortunately Pedigree Shitpost Bingo isn’t gonna win a Triple Crown or Breeders Cup race anytime soon

(this is why American Pharoah’s dad is named Pioneerof the Nile.  They ran out of characters.)
