9 is a good number. I'm happy with that. Odd name. A French horse, apparently. Do you think he neighs with a French accent?

Oui!

Could have been a drunk naming.

Better than the horse that got named Gingernuts.

Back in the early 2000s there was a NZ horse racing in Melbourne named Richard Cranium. This was a translation of his kiwi name which was deemed unsuitable by the authorities in Melbourne. Quite a good horse too.

Funny. Gingernuts was an NZ horse too.
