Is this horse for real?

Question

A friend from work swears up and down that he heard of a race horse named "Hoof Hearted".  The announcer at whatever track was laughing while calling out the horse positions as they neared the finish line, and this horse - I guess  - was in the win, place or show....not sure where exactly, any way it was trading spots with a horse named " Mystery Lady"?  Supposedly on YouTube but I can't find it.  Can anybody verify this?  It seems to goofy to be true.  If it is, my hat's off to the owners.

Hoof Hearted, the one in the video, was foaled in Canada in 1981. She raced 65 times with a record of 9 wins, 8 places, and 4 shows, and earned a little over $40,000. 

Although Jockey Club rules prohibit suggestive names, people try to get around the rule using creative spellings or foreign languages. Some names that have gotten through include Isitingood, Peony's Envy, Silver Knockers, Honor an Offer, For An Occasion, York Hunt, I Love the Organ, Bodacious Tatas, and Morethan Fourhours (this last by More Than Ready out of Rapidamente).  Owners Mike Pegram and Cesar Kimmel are notorious for coming up with these names.
