How are these names within one race for a mouthful

I haven't got any further than Deloraine so far but apart from being a top spot, it has some interesting horse history - it is the birthplace of the following :
Floodlight, whom I had heard of (Hunter Cup winner) who got his name due to the circumstances of his birth
Malua, a galloper I had never heard of, but he must have been INCREDIBLE - check out this link

A nice spot is Deloraine and the great Malua is well known Kev in the apple isle-at least up that way anyway. I believe there is a book out on the horse as well which I intend to purchase. If you haven't seen a tight track before you will see a few in Tassie. No 1:49 and change here that is for sure.
I bought a couple of racing books in Launceston today.
Les Carlyon's The Master because he can write and I need to erase Bart's supposed autobiography I read a couple of years ago (so boring - more a list of race wins than interesting stories)
The other is a 1986 book Gentleman of the Australian Turf
