My Google Alerts for “tax” went wild over the weekend with a strange series of headlines about a tax ruling somehow winning the Iroquois Steeplechase.

It’s not exactly clear where the horse got its name, and if it was named by a tax attorney or a Tax Court judge. Actually, it turns out that the owner is named Irvin S. Naylor, and he’s a utility executive from York, Pa., according to the
I’m not sure which tax ruling Mr. Naylor named his horse after, but whatever it is, it has apparently brought him a lot of luck.
