Horse name generator gives you the perfect name for your racehorse

If you aspire to join the ranks of Dame Judi Dench, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Liz Hurley in owning a winning horse, you’ll likely need to conjure up an eccentric name for your steed. This hilarious generator will reveal the perfect name for your thoroughbred.

Regrettably, this tool can’t assist with purchasing such a creature or figuring out where to house it. However, it does promise to bestow upon your prospective horse a remarkable moniker.

Lottoland is behind the generator, following a survey of 2,000 adults who wager on horses, also commissioned by the company, which revealed that 55 per cent are more spontaneous than strategic when choosing which horse to back. Almost half (46 per cent) tend to place their bets on horses with names they find amusing, while 28 per cent gamble on those with luck or money-related titles.

However, only 11 per cent would rate their knack for selecting winning horses as ‘good’. The jockey’s odds, past victories, and recent form are other, more tactical, factors people consider when placing their bets.

A spokesperson for Lottoland.co.uk, which commissioned the study to mark the launch of its horse racing sportsbook, said: “Racing horse names are completely bonkers, but even so, we look to them more than any other factor when it comes to betting on the races. The most memorable names tend to be those who spectators end up placing their bets on who can forget ‘MayTheHorseBeWithYou’, or every track announcer’s favourite, ‘ARRRR’, from years gone by.”

The research also confirms that a solid 69 per cent of punters consider horse racing betting as a mere bit of fun without much concern over winning or losing. It also surfaced that about 53 per cent of gamblers don’t do their homework about the horses, jockeys or trainers before a significant racing event.

Interestingly, the same percentage of people reported that they are unlikely to follow any horse races in the forthcoming 12 months. Yet, a notable 16 per cent insist they transform into semi-racing experts during major racing events.

According to the study conducted through OnePoll, a whopping 62 per cent have experienced horse racing in person, whereby 54 per cent of these spectators admitted to being more likely to make impulsive bets at the venue than when they watch the race on telly.
