If you’re dreaming of joining the ranks of Dame Judy Dench, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Liz Hurley by owning a Cheltenham-winning horse, you’ll likely need to conjure up a quirky name for your steed. This hilarious generator will reveal the perfect name for your thoroughbred.

Sadly, this tool can’t assist with the purchase or housing of such a creature, but it does promise to bestow upon your potential horse a striking moniker.




Lottoland is the brains behind the generator, following a survey of 2,000 adults who gamble on horses, also commissioned by the firm, which revealed that 55% are more spontaneous than strategic when choosing which horse to support.

Almost half (46%) tend to wager their cash on horses with names they find humorous, while 28% place bets on those with luck or money-related titles. However, only 11% would rate their knack for selecting winning horses as ‘good’.

The jockey’s odds, past victories, and recent performance are other, more strategic, factors people consider when placing their bets.

A representative for Lottoland.co.uk, which commissioned the study to mark the launch of its horseracing sportsbook ahead of this year’s Cheltenham Festival, 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.”

Research has also shown that 69% of punters view betting on horses as just a bit of fun and aren’t too fussed about winning or losing. Consequently, 53% admit they don’t bother doing any homework on the horses, jockeys, or trainers before a major race.
