nferro, I am a little concerned that someone reading this board could so easily respond with such an intellectual answer. What are you doing lurking on this board? :lol:

You are absolutely correct. I think he was emperor around 150 AD, after Hadrian (Hadrian wall and the progenerator of several other Roman historical works).

And, actually I am somewhat concerned that I can remember any of my Roman history. :shock:

Oh, and Tex... I was rooting for that horse. I love Danzig and enjoy seeing him having continued success. Didn't Claiborne just pension him? For some reason, I think that is the case.

Someone on here (think it was Jen) had a mare (possible QH) named "this chick's smashed" Always thought that was a riot! You could have a real good time naming her babies! "beergoggles" "girlgonewild" "drinkin an drivin", etc. How fun!

It's a bit surprising, I think memory moves further back the older I get... things that happened when I was five stand out now, but last week is a bit of a blur...

Hallo,
I read several times in horsemags and books about thoroughbreds in Germany, there was once a horse named IWNWSEB. I always though, it's a bit of racing folklore.
But I have to admit, when I had some time ago the possibility to lend a few German Studbooks form the early 2Oth century, there was really a horse officially accepted and registered of this name. and was regarded good enough to stand as stallion. His name was derived from:
Ich
was
nicht
was
soll
es
bedeuten
translated into English: I don't know what does it mean. Indeed!
Btw, the first line of a German Folksong. But the punters did know, how to cope with such a name, pretty soon the christianed it the "Lorelei Horse", that's the song titel.

At the moment here in my homecountry are racing 2 horses, one of the is named "Fat Snail" and the other "Error".

And there is an Irishbred sprinter running by the name of "Osterhase" (by Flying Spur). It's actually a German word, translated into English= Easter Bunny!

Best regards, Bettina
