Happy Sunrise Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I see a horse by the name 'The Terrorist' is having its first up run at Methven on Sunday. Is that an appropriate name in this day and age? I can hear 'and the terrorist wins'.....'and the terrorist slays them' One could go on forever with possibilities. If it gets up and in grade we might hear ' The Terrorist knocks off Bush man in the shadows of the judges tower...' But I suppose it is not different to 'Stevie Lynn has Cathy Brown at the finishing post' Just a shame those 2 horses are not in the same race on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagship uberalles Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I remember a really good horse that used to race at Alex park in the 80's called Islamic, if it was nowadays can you imagine if it broke and a race caller saying 'islamic bombed the start" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Courts were asked to change the name by HRNZ, however they wouldn’t which I agree with. Where do u draw the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do u draw the line I see in its breeding it is related to 'Fundamental' so I suppose the next one bred will be 'Fundamental Terrorist' I find it interesting that the owners get to choose. I think HRNZ are well within their boundaries to ask for it to be changed (or even mandated) but how was it allowed in the first place? There are enough snowflakes in the world already who are easily offended but 'The Terrorist'? Really? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would HRNZ bother to ask about a name change, if they were only ever going to rubber stamp it anyway? Don't ask. Just get on with it and make the decision to either approve or decline the name. Jesus there is too much faffing about sometimes by the powers that be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I might put forward one of these for HRNZ to consider next time 'Amitrying' and 'Hookeduptoday' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do u draw the line My good friend Brodie, you are on the money again and I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with the name considering the colt is by Terrortolove. And let's not forget that actual Islamic terrorists have killed tens of thousands of people worldwide for the past 40 years or so. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the latter, what are you? I don't mind whether they keep it or not as it is not the end of the world either way but I would lean to the side that it should have been turned down straight up. Rusty and OWM make valid points. I was just asking what people thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think this sort of stuff is crap. Just the same as I think the Crusaders shouldn't change their name. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see what happens. Need to find their outer limits lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
