Here is the real Spanish Steps.
A great horse and a regular visitor to my local track Warwick where he had a bar named after him.

I am a little bit surprised his name wasn't embargoed.
I was really lucky as I got into racing at a really early age watching it with my Dad. He used to take me to the races regularly (my first trip was to Wolverhampton at just a few months old in 1964 apparently). I count myself lucky to have seen some of the greats, both horses and jockeys, and that is why I probably look back through rose tinted glasses at times.
As for mane embargoes it is quite surprising the names that aren't protected. You can try it out here :
