Radiohead’s world domination continues. According to a story in the Liverpool Daily Post, a race horse named Radiohead will compete in this weekend’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile race at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.

Really.

No word if the steed jams out to that Thom Yorke song “Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses” or if he’s somehow offended by it.

In a strange twist, a horse named Wilko won the very same race five years ago. And there’s apparently a similarity between the two gallopers, according to horse agent (!) Andy Smith, who said, “[Radiohead] reminds me of Wilko– a feisty, well-built sort who should do well out in America.”

P4k editors, hire this guy.
