For several years, the first two classics of the English season, the Guineas races at Newmarket, were sponsored by an insurance company with an infelicitous name. How would you like the "General Accident Kentucky Derby?"

The REAL Derby was sponsored by a battery company for a while - and somehow the 'Eveready Derby' didn't sound so bad.
