A horse called Napoleon Solo won the 151st (2026) Preakness Stakes. The news outlets are ballyhooing the outcome for all it's worth, and yet it's baffling to me that few of the media's "omniscient" darlings have referenced the victorious creature's namesake.
We're talking U.N.C.L.E. here, as in The Man from..., as portrayed by the suave Robert Vaughn and later down the line by the suave Henry Cavill (two actors associated with the Superman movie franchise, no less). Napoleon Solo, the name is pop-cultural royalty for crying out loud! It's a winning name for a winning protagonist and now a top-winning race horse.
Why then the omission? Call me petty, but I think it's infuriating that those in the alleged know either don't know or don't care.ðŸ˜
