Ahead of Royal Ascot, rest your knowledge with this new quiz and see if you can tell the difference between the names of racehorses and famous drag queens – it’s harder than you think!
Is it a racehorse or a drag queen? Whether you’re a seasoned Drag Race fan or a regular at the racetrack, this quiz will have you scratching your head as you try to guess which name belongs to who.
The unique quiz tests your racing knowledge against names of renowned queens. But can you differentiate between Black Peppas and Black Caviars? Do you know if Kitten’s Joy is discovered on the track or on the stage?
It’s the perfect bit of fun for anyone who loves the theatre of the races or the drama of drag – even seasoned bettors and hardcore drag fans have been left puzzled over which is which.
A spokesperson for Lottoland.co.uk’s sportsbook, which commissioned the quiz ahead of Royal Ascot, said: «We didn’t realise Drag Queens and racehorses had anything in common – until we created this quiz.
«When you think about it, there’s lots of crossover between drag and horse racing – there’s lots of pageantry, and brightly-coloured outfits. All these names are iconic, but it is hard to tell the difference between them.
«You may be surprised at just how tricky this quiz actually is, as not all Drag names are a saucy double entendre.»
The quiz creators delved deep into the Drag community to find stars whose unusual names could easily be mistaken for a racing horse.
Other inventive names included Blu Hydrangea and Charity Kase.
Both racing and pageantry rely heavily on presence and performance, whether it’s the start of a big race or the moment a queen steps out in front of the judges, bringing a sense of excitement.
The spokesperson added: «It’s not often these two worlds collide, but when they do – it’s fabulous. We wanted to do something playful that brings together the glamour of drag and the spectacle.
«Whether you’re backing a queen or a colt, this quiz will definitely keep you guessing.»
