A racehorse named Akau

I have posted this before, but thought it was worth posting again, given the Melbourne cup was on again.

If i were ever to own a race horse i would name it Akau. Why?

"We're coming into the home stretch, and the horses are battling for position, but wait - Akau is coming down the outside, in fact it looks like Akau might be in with a good chance. Akau is now in third place, no wait, second place. This is turning into a magnificant race, and i don't believe it but Akau has taken the lead, yes, yes, Akau, Akau, against all the odds, Akau has done it. For the first time in the history of the sport, and we may never see it happen again, but Akau has won the Melbourne cup."
