26 |
​Odor in the Court |
​To get a combination of laughter and fright out of the audience, get the commentator to announce a rather unfortunate (yet inevitable) situation on the track. |

For all of you horse owners, don’t take these suggestions TOO seriously. We don’t think any horse deserves to be called any of these names for life — unless, of course, you think the horse really does deserve it.
