This is cool, but not really surprising... TWSS has always been a "Dad joke" for as long as I can remember... in fact, my Dad used it all the time as I was growing up (often with a variation: "TWSS when the bed broke" was a particular favorite).

I like how it makes every other horse's name funny by association... "Run Mama Bear Run! That's what she said!" "Shake and Quake the leader! That's what she said!"

Just to mess with the announcer men, I would name my horse "I just peed myself"

A truly dedicated jokester would have bought all the horses in the race and assured that they all have comically suggestive names.
