Olambala
Olambala (1906–1935) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. Bred in Tennessee by John G. Greener, his British-born sire Ornus, a son of Bend Or, a two-time leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland, was imported to stand at stud in the United States. Olambala's dam was Blue and White, a daughter of the 1885 leading sire in North America, Virgil.
Owned by Richard Thornton Wilson, Jr. and raced under the name of his Montpelier Stable, Olambala was conditioned for racing by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Thomas J. Healey. The colt won important races at age three including the 1909 Latonia Derby and equaled the track record at Saratoga Race Course for a mile and three quarters in winning the Saratoga Handicap.
As a four-year-old in 1910, won two of the three most important races in the United States open to older horses. Best at longer distances, Olambala did not run in the one mile Metropolitan Handicap but won both the Suburban and Brighton Handicaps. At Sheepshead Bay Race Track, Olambala equaled the world record record for a mile and a quarter on dirt in winning the Commonwealth Handicap.

by: Sesame StreetWillie Wimple went a’ boating
Making dirty water here
Pouring stuff there, 'till the gunk was everywhere
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an icky mess it would be?
No place for fish to swim
No lakes for sailing in
No rivers, no streams, no submarines,
No swimming ever again!
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an icky, messy, no-fun world it would be?
Yuck!
Willie Wimple went a’ walking
And he chopped a tree here(?)
He threw his trash there, till the junk was everywhere
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What a messy place it would be?
No room for a marching band
No place for people to stand
No yards to play in, ---- to stay in,
Just trash across our land
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an ugly, awful, no-fun world it would be?
Yuck!
