Another champion?

Barbaro is dead at the tender age of four, but now this story in the N.Y. Times introduces the colt's still unnamed kid brother Does this 10-and-a-half month old horse have a chance at the greatness his older sibling had?

As the Times is careful to point out, an estimated 34,200 horses were born in 2006. Bottom line, there will be a lot of horses vying for the 18 or 20 gates at Churchill Downs in two years. We'll see, we'll see.

Any suggestions on names for this equine equivalent of Rory Culkin (i.e. always trying to live up to the expectations of an older sibling)? Leave your ideas in the comments section.
