42%, Jackie--but, if I took it again, I'd end up with different answers. Lots of guessing there.
Mr. Happy Socks???
No, Ruffian isn't the horse I'm thinking of. This was a filly, yes. And it must have been the Kentucky Derby she won with that broken leg. And it really was a name that was hyphenated--and kind of tripping along. Saw a film of her race--what a marvel.

How about the horse that was made a senator. Anyone know its name (I don't but ICLIU) and whose it was (I *do know that)?

That's who I had in mind, Dr. Bill. But according to this site ( http://www.vroma.org/~bmcmanus/caligula.html) it was consul and he didn't so much do it as make a joke about it that others took seriously. Scroll down to 39CE.

Interesting that Helicon, chamberlain to Caligula, gave his name to Don Juan Oņate's horse.

We have here in Richmond, VA, a statue of the infamous Caligula. Sorry, he isn't mounted on a horse. He just stands there looking handsome. What a very strange man he was! Wonder whether it's a fake? It's not supposed to be, but you never know. I think the statue has the date somewhere about on a plaque or something: 1 A.D. I could look it up, but won't. Someone here will know.

Who ordered the construction of the Trojan Horse? Odysseus, some say with the help of Athena Who built it? the artist Epeius And who talked the Trojans into allowing the structure into the city? the Greek soldier Sinon, the only one left behind when the Greek fleet departed as a ploy to get the horse into the city Helen?
