Mercury News:

Scientists have succeeded in cloning a baby mule, a gangly-legged creature named Idaho Gem -- brother of the world's second-fastest racing mule and the first successful clone of any member of the horse family.

Idaho Gem's creation, a collaboration between scientists at the University of Idaho and Utah State University, raises the possibility that valuable competition horses or endangered equine species could pass on their genes even if they are sterile or dead.

Makes me wonder if Secretariat's DNA is floating around somewhere...
