Planet of Sound

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Anyone else back this nag in the National yesterday because of its Pixies link ? At 33-1 and leading with two fences to go I could have hugged Black Francis. Inevitably it then started going backwards. Have there ever been any race horses with Sisters related names - and if so, has anyone ever backed them and won ??

I did consider backing it but changed my mind and went for Seabass. :)

Black Planet would be a good name for a horse. Maybe there's been one called Alice? Or Marian? Who knows? :lol:

I've just found this to answer your question (in a round about way...)

JockeyClubRegistry :wink:

There is an Alice but it looks like Sisters song names are a great opportunity for new names. First & Last & Always would be a good one. :lol:

:notworthy: That website's a great find which will provide hours of innocent fun (try typing in g*th or m******n for example and looking for the best match). I note that there's an "Anaconda", a "Sisterhood", a "Wayne On The Wire" and even a "Rockandahardplace" but the more you think about it, perhaps it's the other way round - maybe :von: names his albums (FALAA. Floodland, Vision Thing) after the fantasy racehorses which he will buy when they sell in their millions (in his dreams). And what would the going be for the Eldritch Handicap Chase ? Giving ground, naturellement.
