I'm sure if he were here he would of mentioned Crusty Pye and Tyburn Gallows by now :D

James Moore, New Zealander who rode for cradley and Oxfors in the late 70's?

What is so special about that I hear you ask?

Because his full name was...James Timy Te-Kerehi Herini-Moore.

Only tenuously linked but I had a lot of time for the person who named their racehorses Betty Swallocks, Mary Hinge and Cunning Stunt respectively. (trained by Julie Cecil in the early 90's I believe)
