Ivana Tinkle to Geespot – X-rated racehorse names that will make your jaw drop

Cheltenham kicks off tomorrow and while things might be a bit different this year due to Covid, there's one thing that is sure to raise a smile – the wacky racehorse names.

Whether it's a tongue-twister to make a commentator sweat or an X-rated moniker that somehow has slipped through the standards' net, there have been some side-splitting names in racing history.

Here Daily Star saddles up for a look at some of the funniest.

Sheila Blige: But will she? This chestnut filly only had one win in 12 races between 2001 and 2002.

Hoof Hearted: This nag’s a real gas when you say its name fast.

Geespot: A cheeky moniker perfect for the offspring of Pursuit Of Love and My Discovery.

Bad News: This nag got its name because “bad news travels fast”. It went on to win 47 races over eight years.

Sotally Tober: You can only pronounce this right after a couple of Guinnesses.

Maythehorsebewithyou: One for the Star Wars fans, this horse used the force to come fifth in Australia’s famous Melbourne Cup.

Wear The Fox Hat: Sadly this naughty name was spotted by an eagle-eyed official on his debut outing – and, after some quick ­paperwork, had to run under “Noname”.

Whykickamoocow: Pity the commentator that had to shout out this US horse’s moniker.

Weareagrandmother: If you want to name your horse after a person, you have to have their permission. Margaret Thatcher turned down writer Clement Freud – so he came up with this.

Passing Wind: No wonder he won by a distance on both his first-placed races… you wouldn’t want to be behind.

Noble Locks: Say it quickly – but not in polite company.

Finmental: No-one really ­noticed this naughty name until another horse ran called Hesfinmentaltoo.

DoReMiFaSaLaTiDo: Someone’s a fan of The Sound Of Music, but probably not the ­announcer who had to shout
this out.

Ha Ha Ha: The last laugh was on the owners – in a six-race career, he finished last twice and was pulled up on two other occasions.

Arrrrr: Whoever named this American gelding must have been watching too much pirate TV.

Step on Degas: A highbrow pun for this racer.

Some Horse/Another Horse: Former Liverpool team-mates Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman bought these two – another fail for commentators.

Big T*ts: This French-trained filly boobed on the track, finishing unplaced in six races.

● Others failed to make it past the British Horse Racing Authority. But we can just about ­mention: Chit Hot, Harry Balzitch, Pee Ness, Hucking Fell, Norfolk Enchants, Ivana Tinkle, OliBeefHooked, Pee Nesenvy.
