With so many horses being named it is natural that ultimately, in the future, names will be repeated.

After a span of 20 years an owner can apply to name a horse with a name previously used, in most cases that would be granted.

The name Studio popped up running second at Randwick earlier this week, a name not been heard of for quite a few years.

The original Studio was by Manfred, she was the dam of Chanak, one of the very best colts of his year, he was involved in the noisiest demonstration seen on a Melbourne racecourse.

Caulfield was the venue; it was the Guineas, Chanak ridden by Scobie Breasley, and trained by Jack Holt, was a hot favourite to win the semi Classic.

Chanak had the Guineas safely in his keeping when Breasley dropped his hands, Hororata, an outsider in the field, ridden by Billy Briscoe, got up to score by a half head.

Pandemonium broke out in all quarters, there were fights in all directions, Breasley, who was never the favourite son of chief steward Alan Bell gave the hoop three months for his indiscretion.

It proved a costly penalty for Breasley as Chanak won the Cox Plate two weeks later, ridden by Harold Badger.
