Meet Rock Hard Ten.

He's a horse. He has the name of a porn star.

This picture was taken from a May 14 MSNBC article about the Belmont Stakes, to be run Saturday.

Horse racing editor Mike Brunker believes Rock Hard Ten will ruin' Smarty Jones' bid for the first Triple Crown since Affirmed did it a while back.

He's right, but did he have to say it like this? "...Rock Hard Ten looks like the one best equipped to spoil the Kentucky Derby winner’s party."

Best equipped? Well look at his freakin' name!

And those who know me best know that Smarty Jones sounds like a rapper's name. I looked at the other horses and tried to find some humor in them.

Birdstone: I picture a little blue jay getting high, and I'm not sure why I think that.

Caiman: Either a reference to the Islands, or simply put: "Caiman last."

Eddington: Hmmm... could be part of a spinoff of Robin Hood: "The Sheriff of Eddington had his way with Maid Marian!

Master David: What you call Larry after you buy Curb Your Enthusiasm's Second Season on DVD.

Purge: One of many references to low-carb dieting, when an Atkins-friendly citizen walks into Panera.

Royal Assault: The winning hand in a game of Extreme Texas Hold'em Poker.

Tap Dancer: For every race, there has to be a gay horse.
