Putting political opinions aside here (PLEASE) , I see that a pacer in the 70's was named Rhodes Scholar. Had about as much talent and ability as the aforementioned KB. 3 starts 0 wins 0 Prizemoney.
As this thread has drifted a little , if it was not that I currently have three unnamed fillies , I might consider naming one of them Rhodes Scholar but it seems to be a too masculine name for any of these little sweethearts. I am in the industry for the love of it. Don't care if they never win a race in the future . I am a passionate but sentimental owner , I bred them , I love them. Life's not always about making a quick dollar. I'm a harness man through and through and I REALLY love my sport :-)
