How about in honor of the great movie and horse, War Horse, naming him that in French?
Cheval de Retour

A couple more in French that mean "gallant horse" and "gallant knight" ( or gallant horseman ) respectively.
Cheval Vaillant ( Gallant Horse ) — which, of course, a war horse ( Cheval de Retour ) would also be!
Chevalier Vaillant or in English, Gallant Knight
They'd have fun with one of these in the town of Havre de Grace and at the tracks, wouldn't they! ;-)
Besides the French word connection to Grace, I really like the fact that from the root of the word, cheval, comes the word chivalry which is thus related both to the horse and its knight.

Or……. if you don't like MALTESE KNIGHT or KNIGHT OF MALTA, how about:
KNIGHT FROM MALTA?
( think I like Sacred Knight or Sacred Code better? )
Anyway, you'll be relieved to know that I'm finally running out of ideas, I think. ;-)

CALL TO RISE ( which would occur for a horse once the starting gate opens ;-) ), I though of when recalling one of my all-time favorite poems written by Emily Dickinson in 1176! It goes:
We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies–
The Heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King—
Love it!  I also believe that in times of battle, the Grand Master would call to his knights, "RISE," meaning "CHARGE!" Also, just the name, RISE, is available.
Add to list: Knight of Kings

Hi Katrina! Yes! That's the "three sock wonder" we've been talking about and attempting to come up with a good name for him! Rick got on after we started coming up with names and lead us to believe he liked, Knight ( which is taken ), so we started trying to think of names with knight in them, or related to knight. Hope that brings you sorta up to date? ;-) This guy has special written all over him, so he needs a special name! ;-)
PS Thanks for the pic! Can never see this fella enough!

Or another could be, KNIGHT'S POSE. Since he has such a brave and regal pose, just like a knight would have. ;-)

K., what about the name, Spats ( or Knight in Spats )? ;-) In the 19th century, wealthy men would dress-up by wearing them as a cover over their shoe ( usually a white cover over a black shoe).

How about:
VORACIOUS KNIGHT ( as in an eager approach and unquenchable desire)
AUDACIOUS KNIGHT ( as in daring and valiant )
CONTENTIOUS KNIGHT ( as in always in contention, and with the law terms on the dam's side names
thought this might fit? )
Also, concerning the Hard Spun/Christina's World colt, I came up with some possible names. I know you probably won't keep her and thus will leave the naming up to someone else, but it was still fun to think of!
WORLDWIND ( like whirlwind )
WORLDWIND TOUR or WHIRLWIND TOUR
TWIRL AROUND
SWIRL AROUND
SWIRLAWAY

Some more:
BODACIOUS KNIGHT ( brilliant, striking, noticeable )
BOLDACIOUS KNIGHT ( blend of bold and audacious ) or just:
BOLDACIOUS
GLORIOUS KNIGHT
IMPERVIOUS KNIGHT ( not penetrable )
IMPERMEABLE KNIGHT ( resistant to pain or harm, impenetrable )
PRECOCIOUS KNIGHT
Rick, if and when you decide on a name for this special colt, whether from this site or elsewhere, could you let us know (??? ), so my madness will stop!
