Horse trainer Eric Guillot has been banned by the New York Racing Association and 1/ST Racing for changing the name of one of his horses to a racial slur, which was directed at a Black TVG analyst. Guillot, who has made $13 million over his career from horses he trained, tweeted on Jan. 1 that the three-year-old colt he was running at Aqueduct Racetrack was being given a new name “in honor of a TVG analyst,” and followed that with a Black fist emoji. He revealed in a follow-up tweet that the name of the horse was “Grape Soda,” which can be a racist term directed at Black people.




He wasnt banned for naming the horse Grape Soda. He was banned because he put on twitter that he named the horse after a black horse analyst on TVG thats why he was banned. Apparently he and the horse analyst have had a feud going on for some time

They're going to ignore that part of course, it doesn't fulfill their need for rage. He said he was naming it after a black person, named the horse Grape Soda, and posted a black fist emoji. Something something play stupid games. The intent itself is racist.

20 yrs in the industry says otherwise. Do you.


Do I get to cry and claim "racism" when a black person jokes that I want extra mayo on my sandwich? Or can I just shrug it off and get the frick over it because it's silly and not worth being offended over? Tired of douchebags being offended at shite because they're told they're supposed to be offended at shite.

The most offensive part of the name to any southerner is the "soda" part.

Not that any SJW cared how a Southerner deals with anything.

What’s the problem with “long time, no see”?

As king of the blind, I find that preposterous.

Blind people are aware they can’t see. How would referencing sight be offensive
