Ever thought of what you'd name a horse if you owned one? Well, here's your chance to name a horse and get a feel for what it's like to be a horse owner.
America’s Best Racing and Ninety North Racing are giving everyone a chance to name Ninety North's next racehorse. The person who submits the winning name will receive, along with a guest, the opportunity to experience a full day of racing fun when and if the horse being named races.
The day will include watching morning training along the backstretch, meeting the horse named by the winner, and spending the day enjoying the races from a box at either Saratoga Race Course or Belmont Park!
So, here's what you have to do. Take a look at the horse's pedigree and backstory below, follow The Jockey Club guidelines for horse names, come up with a creative name for the horse and email it to 90NorthNames@gmail.com, along with your name, age and location.
Entries must be submitted by May 29, 2015. The person who submits the winning name will be contacted via email and announced on America's Best Racing social media platforms as well as AmericasBestRacing.net.

The horse was foaled, or born, on March 15, 2013. She's a 2-year old filly, a female horse, and she’s the daughter of Proud Citizen and Tiz Maie’s Day. That makes her a full-sister to Went the Day Well, who finished fourth in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby in 2012 after winning the Grade 3 Spiral Stakes. Ninety North Racing purchased the filly in January 2014. She has trained in Florida and recently shipped to New York, where the owners plan to race her. If all goes according to plan, she could be running as soon as June or July at Belmont Park.
So, do you have a name you’d like to submit? See if it’s eligible by testing it out in The Jockey Club Online Names Book, which allows you to check a name to see if it is currently in use or otherwise unavailable.
