Wrench in the Name Works for "Catalyst"

Sadly, the Jockey Club has rejected the submission of the name "Catalyst" for our Gunner Runner x Tapit filly, due to it being to similar in sound to an existing name "Katalust." 

MRH has filed an appeal and we are awaiting the outcome since Katalust is an 8YO horse and they are unlikely to ever be in the same race together to cause confusion (which is the point of having unique names for every current Thoroughbred registered in North America).

If the JC refuses the appeal, then the option may be to go to the second name choice for this filly -- Lady Gunner. If that happens,  and this or another name becomes her official name instead of Catalyst, I'll be changing her page name and all the tags on this site yet again to reflect her permanent name. (Guess I jumped the gun this time, but didn't anticipate this outcome, since there were no other horses named "Catalyst" registered.)

I don't think at this point there will be time for MRH to conduct another naming round, because she appears to be preparing for a start in the near future, but we'll see what's decided.
