That was entirely accidental. The owner of the horse asked a stable boy to label the feed bin with the horse's name and there was a miscommunication, the stable boy writing the name as Pot followed by eight O's when it was supposed to be Potatoes. He thought it was hilarious, so he kept it.

Why would I need to be sad to think about this dude? That makes no sense. When I'm sad I think about loser hoses, not absolute champions (like Potoooooooo).

I think it's like, thinking about Potoooooooo is going to make you feel better? I don't see any other way it'd make sense.

My favorite horse ever was Pink.. He always stayed on the inside just to duck with the announcer.

Dies the 19th century, gets called an 18th century horse. Poor taters.
