Rachel Alexandra has won the Preakness, becoming only the fifth filly to win in that race's history.
This got me thinking about the names of racehorses: Secretariat, Seabiscuit, Street Sense. Interestingly, regulations state that no horse's name may contain more than 18 letters.
In contrast, American Kennel Club rules state that no two purebred dogs may have the same name - resulting in long and colorful names such as "Champion Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry." I guess "Spot" was already taken.
