Did Rob or Slavers put a flutter on this filly?
Racing’s ruling body is to review the process by which it approves racehorse names after a runner was allowed to compete under the name of a racial slur.
The horse, named Jungle Bunny, raced in a low-profile contest at Wolverhampton on Saturday, having been missed by officials at the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) who are supposed to prevent offensive and inappropriate names being used.
Followers of the sport took to social media to say they were “gobsmacked” by the “unforgivable” naming and attempted to call it to the BHA’s attention before the race. However, she took part under the name and went on to finish sixth on her debut. The TV commentator, Derek Thompson, gave the horse no mention during the race.
Two hours later, the BHA acknowledged on Twitter that the filly’s name was “deeply offensive and should not have been permitted. It was not picked up by the team responsible for filtering names. This is a human process and this was a human error. We will be having the horse renamed at the earliest opportunity and apologise for offence caused.”
The BHA confirmed on Sunday that the horse had been renamed at their insistence and is now called Jungle Bells. Online form records of Saturday’s race are to be amended to show that name.

Wasn't Jungle Bunny the name of one of Felgerkarb's crazy women, back in the day?

Are you thinking of Jungle Barbie? She wasn't anything particularly to do with Felgerkarb and she wasn't crazy.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 5:23 pmWasn't Jungle Bunny the name of one of Felgerkarb's crazy women, back in the day?

I think it is about time that K440 diversify.
Some black and brown faces within the ownership structure would be great. Maybe Slaveboy might do it.
