Horsey McHorseface is winless no more.

The 3-year-old, who boasts arguably the best name in all of horse racing, claimed victory at the Arthur Thompson Memorial Maiden Plate at Cessnock Racecourse in New South Wales, Australia.

Co-owner Joe Rosetti came up with the name Horsey McHorseface as a tribute to Boaty McBoatface, the top choice in a public poll to name a British polar research ship.

"Joe's a good bloke and he's a good horse - we just thought it would be a good fit," trainer Bjorn Baker told CNN.
