A list of proposed names for racehorses rejected by the British Horseracing Authority, including Arfur Foulkesaycke, OilBeefHooked and Chit Hot, came to light this week.

Others which never made it past the post include Choke the Chicken, Curl One Off and Hugh G Dildeaux.

Norfolk Enchants and Hoof Hearted, names England star Wayne Rooney once joked about giving to two of his horses, also raised eyebrows with the sport’s governing body.

And Pee Nesenvy, Spank The Monkey also pulled up lame as did Ivanna Threesome, Jack Schitt and Anita B Jaynow.

The full list, courtesy of Small World, reads like the cast of a Carry On movie
