Aguiar advised WAVE that it was his spouse’s concept to call the horse after Taylor, as a result of it’s “resilient and beautiful.” Race horses get their names throughout their second 12 months of life, and the names may be modified any time earlier than their first race, according to The Jockey Club rules.
Janelle Aguiar celebrated the win on Facebook.
“Any time we win a horse race is exciting … But it takes it to a new level when you name your horse Breonna in honor of #BreonnaTaylor, the horse wins at Churchill Downs on Derby week, and you hear so many people #SayHerName,” she wrote in a post.
