    And here I thought this type of rebus wasn't invented until 20th century advertising campaigns. This horse witnessed the American Revolution.

    I'm thinking something along the lines of the taters scene in LotR.

    "Stable boy! The horse's name is Potatoes!"

    "Potatoes? Mi'lord?"

    "Yah! POT-AYT-OES!"

    This horse gets posted at least once a year, every time I chuckle at the name

    Why is it that race horses have such unusual names?

    I prefer Orb[0]. Orb is horse.

    good read

    pot8o is pronounced pot-eight-o = potato.

    Usually "potato" term is considered as weak / bad as far as I know, but then here "potato" is a champ.

    Further proof that naming things is hard.
