Ken's probably going to wish I hadn't...but I've just got to put up my very best named horse. As I see it, I can enter him as the owner or Ken can enter him as the breeder. I'm hoping I can enter him for Ken as the breeder.

History: A long time (in Sim years) ago, I ran a contest (my first, actually) centered around the book by Harvey Pack -- Pack at the Track. Kenneth Gordon won GPs in that contest and used them to create the mare: Pack At The Track. Well, she did really very, very well.

And then (and this is what will make Ken blush), he offered to give me the foal. And I did come up with a (I think) perfect name. And even better, he won at first asking -- looking really good. And I ask you, given this this back story could there be a better name:

Ken's The Man
"Luck is my middle name," said Rincewind, indistinctly.
"Mind you, my first name is Bad."

-- (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)

Are you asking me if that's allowed? If so, you're asking the wrong person! 8)

Leoooo, this is hard!! (Can I enter one of mine you named for me, after Fun-With-Typos? Kick Ace, Arms Race x One Again (Echo Again), remember that?).

This is mine, anyway.

Lojtnant, Right Hand Man x Sverige (A Bus): Sverige is Swedish for Sweden, and Lojtnant is Swedish for "Lieutenant," AKA someone's right hand man.
