This guy named his horse "Mute Rudolph" after Ken Rudolph and then instructed the silks guy to use colors that included the Confederate flag.

saw this story a couple days ago. altho i got a bit of a chuckle about naming a horse 'mute rudolph' the rest of it was pretty sad. why people have to behave in such a way is beyond me.

As much as I think K.R. got his job because he was a local news reporter and got hooked up with a racing analyst job with TVG due to affirmative action because he has no talent when it comes to horseracing. (I am a black man and can say this with a straight face). Yes he talks too much, no this guy is not funny, yes he piss me off with his minstrel show antics. But nobody deserves to be ridiculed by a racist and their sick sense of humor.

I was the hotwalker for a horse at Churchill Downs named Traci Girl who raced in Confederate Flag silks. I couldn't believe it when I saw the jockey walking to the paddock in them.

The horse was eventually claimed for 40K - and with a more competent hotwalker - would later run 2nd to Pleasant Home in a Graded Stakes race for Bruce Levine and Roddy Valente
