A Criminal Theme Detected in the new 2022 Sire Crop

Last year, when I saw the listing of the new sires, I noted that there was quite a few names that had a Covid-19 connection.   This year, I have detected another theme.  A criminal theme.

We start with Shoplifted.  The name itself is a crime but does fit as the sire is Into Mischief, which could have criminal intentions built within.

Then we have Danon Smash.  Exactly what does Danon want to smash?  Property Damage is apparent.

Battleground is another named sire that definitely can have some illegal brawling occurring.

Then I crossed paths with a horse named Dirty Work.  Really?  Anything a criminal does is definitely dirty work.   Of course, there may be a Headman in charge of planning all of this, hmm…another horse named for crime.

Robbers like to Snag things like purses with hopes of hitting it big to have a Dynamic Impact on their own life.  Snag, Dynamic Impact??  Crime again!

Now a name like Waiting would seem innocent enough, but Criminals tend to hide in waiting….waiting for their next victim.

Bobby’s Wicked One.   Name says it all.

I Am….quite a name for a horse.  Seems like a ring leader would use this term frequently.  Suck as I Am the boss…don’t mess with me.  A criminal boss.

Your Truly appears to have nice sentiment to it.  Except when you get that unsigned ransom letter that says “Yours Truly”.

A name like Engage sounds romantic, as if someone has committed to being married.  But criminals use it far more often as they engage in the underworld activities they participate in.

Starman is not a superhero, as it first may sound.  No…it is a nickname that the evils use in reference to their “hit” men.

In Swoop is a term used when a criminal “swoops in” to make a big gain.  Ok, the horse name is cleverly reversed to the actual term in is connected to.

A sired named Classy Gent sounds like someone you would respect.  But remember, a lot of criminal leaders will dress like a Classy Gent, so do not be fooled.

Supremacy is what all criminals seek as well as Acceptance.  Definite criminal connections here.

Fierce Impact is the fear that criminals use to get their way.  Bus some may use Sound and Fury for the same affect.

And then there is Most Mischief.  Mischief is a word that can be substituted for criminal.

Of course, a name like Fighting Irish could only refer to the criminal element of brawlers.

And how could anyone overlook a sire named Charlatan.  Truly a fraud waiting to happen.

Time to Reign is only a term used by drug lords who oversee their territorial area of crime.

Armor is what criminals will where when one den of a criminal business plans an attack on their rivals.

Combatant…how could this not be a crime related name?

In crime families, they all have their own Code of Honor as well as their own Known Agenda.

Now one sire named Knicks Go has to have a criminal connection.  It can’t be a reference to the basketball NY Knicks.  Everyone know that the basketball team just does not go anywhere good.  So Knicks Go has to be a code name.

A lot of criminals have nicknames and it is very obvious that Sleepy Eyes Todd is one of them.  And you can throw in Our Boy Leo, Uncle Chuck, Mr Green Jeans, and Sir Dudley Digges to name a few.

So be careful when you choose one of the new first year sires.  You may unwantingly and unwillingly step into the underworld.  And there may be no escape.  But then again, I could be wrong.  I very much doubt it.
