There are a couple of stories regarding the name,one saying that Eric Guillot named him after a black TVG host Ken Rudolph. Guillot then backtracked, and said it was his favorite drink as a kid.Whatever,he is getting a new name.

The same day a son of 'Super Espresso" ran. This Italian beverage is enjoyed by Italians all over the world, it's not just a stereotype, it is a truth. A horse named after this beverage? Super hurtful. Our entire family weeps excessively each time one of "Super Espresso's" foal's run. When will they make this right?

And the fighting leprechaun at Notre Dame pisses me off. No athlete getting arrested for a violent offense at Notre Dame looks Irish to me.
