Naming QueryBreeding

TheSwooper

Just wondering if this is a common occurrence, as to be honest, I don't usually take much notice.

Was watching some trials in NZ and one of the winners was named after its Dam.

Clerio (GB) 1994 2011

• Sire: O'REILLY (NZ) 1993
• Dam: CLERIO (GB) 1994

Looked good too.

these are the current australian requirements

Current	A name cannot be reused for 17 years after the year of birth of the horse with this name.
Stud	A name cannot be repeated for 20 years after the year of birth of the youngest named progeny.
Major race winner	Names of certain winners of major races have a special restriction placed upon their reuse.
Permanent	These names can never be reused.

Thanks Lame. Obviously happens more than I thought as found another example at the same set of trials. Was also an impressive winner - Clearbrook Lane

I think you will find that in NZ they just use the name of the stallion or dam to identify the young horse in the trial as it is officially un named at that point.

TheSwooper

I realise that but these have definitely been given their Dam's name.

Damien is correct.

The horse hasn`t been named yet.

I don't know how to paste an image but when you click on the horse, you can see the name. They quite often
trial without their formal name but the information usually comes through when you click on the trial results. Happy to stand corrected however.

with the mother being GB it's usually alot easier to use that same name so highly likely
just like the uproar when there was another horse named black caviar in south africa i think it was
