In _theory_, it sounds like a weird name. But as this video from a weekend race at Florida’s Gulfstream Park shows, it’s a pretty entertaining choice in _practice_. Just watch, and you’ll see what we mean. Props, of course, to whoever named this horse — but the real hero here is the announcer, who somehow manages to say things like “Here comes Harass!” without giggling even _once_.
