Name of Name : ________________

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...


The lyric is from the early 70s hit by the band America.

Americain is the name of the horse favoured to win today's Melbourne Cup.

In Melbourne it's a public holiday and just about anyone who's everyone who knows nothing about horse racing will nominate their would-be winner. Chosen by a nice name, the colour scheme of the jockey's silks, a tip from a friend or just a blind stab.

bLOGOS/HA HA this year opts via the name : Lucas Cranach, from Germany. This horse with no name is named after the German artist Lucas Cranach (1472 – 1553). This artist with no name was named after...
He was born at Kronach in upper Franconia and learned the art of drawing from his father Hans Maler (his surname meaning "painter" and denoting his profession, not his ancestry, after the manner of the time and class). His mother, with surname Hübner, died in 1491. Later, the name of his birth-place was used for his surname, another custom of the times.
