"Broker's Tip", a racehorse owned by Colonel E.R. Bradley, won only one race in his entire life. But that race was the Kentucky Derby. Among the rocky hazards to sailors and ships in the 17th century were the Scilly Isles of England. In order to keep ships away from the treacherous rocks of Scilly, the lighthouse of St. Agnes was built. In those days, of course, the source of light came from a fire and, ironically, the very first boat to carry the fuel to light the fire in the newly erected lighthouse never reached her destination. She smashed into it in the dark and was wrecked. Believe It or Not!
