well this octagonal is a thoroughbred as was the one that raced here

& with the way stallions are world wide these days is it right to have a racehorse with the same name of a stallion ?
i recall a dog called 'taj rossi' racing this was named after a champion galloper which means unless rules have changed you are WRONK rk
fwiw i don't think if they have the same names 'cross coding' is a big deal (i also recall a dog called gammalite but spelt slightly differently) what i'm saying is there are now 2 horses by the name of 'octagonal' in the thoroughbred world, so someone could go into a horse by octagonal thinking it was the australian champ but infact it is a south african
