Minnie Driver And Banned Horse Names

Published: March 1, 2013 12:21 pm EST

Back in September Brittney Mayotte and I started asking people in harness racing about their all-time favourite horse names.

These names ranged from those with personal connections (Kowabunga Kyle) to standouts (Malabrigo) to humourous handles (Rub N Tug).

Of course, some names don't make it through.

Graham Norton, host of BBC's Graham Norton Show recently asked actress Minnie Driver to read a list of horse names rejected by the registrar in the U.K., one of which made it through and was used on a horse here. That clip is available below. Enjoy.
