I think it has to be said/i've been meant to say this for quite some time but this is prob/easily the best topic in sw or something?? like not to stroke ego (or... otherwise! *blush*) but you rule and this topic rules, also i really lost it at the "hot coffee" post, jesus christ
ohhh thank you very much!! I kinda never know how much credit I should really take for this... but I'm always glad to know people enjoy it...!

You should take plenty of credit.
 
It still confounds me how you can so effectively glean the most video-game-esque sounding names from such a large database of racehorse names. You have been doing it by category, on REQUEST even! What is your secret? Do you use some kind of thesaurus assisted searching or what?

i did a handful of keyword searches for christmas and coffee ones, but otherwise it is the brute force method, reading through the huge lists as fast as I can every few days & trusting good ones will catch my attention

Desert Baby is a good jam game, Voodoo Tales needs more time. I really wish I could write.
