A Tongue Twister at the Horse Race Track

I sometimes use English tongue twisters in my English class, and when I do, my students tell me Japanese tongue twisters (which are more difficult than the English ones). 

Earlier this month at a Tokyo race course, a three year old filly with an unusual name won the race. The horse's name is Sumomomomomomomomo. I know - - - What??? 

The horse's name comes from a Japanese tongue twister: Sumomo mo momo mo momo no uchi (スモモも、モモも、モモのうち), which means "plums, peaches, peaches".  A sumomo is a kind of plum (not to be confused with the ume plum), but a close relative of the peach.
