NYRA bans Eric Guillot
 

He named a hoss Grape Soda, which apparently is racist in millennial speak. Hoss was claimed and renamed Respect For All. Truth is stranger than fiction

Why not at least try and get the facts before posting?

Grape Soda isn’t racist. Saying you named it in honor of Ken Rudolph and then making a racist comment about the horses workout shows what his intentions were. Once he got called on it he changed his tune.

Honestly....good riddance. He’s not funny and has been saying racist stuff for a long time.

Now I’m confused. Didn’t know he has a history of being racist.

He tweeted this on January 1st about the horse.

Wow apparently there's this gem: https://twitter.com/chevalnuit68/sta...85375596335109

Any likelihood of this one getting changed too? I love that he thinks he's got plausible deniability and is the victim, meanwhile there are screenshots of his shenanigans.

Meanwhile Tampa running back just scored vs the Former Redskins and did a war chant afterwards hold his fingers above his head like feathers.

From the Bloodhorse article:

"Originally the horse was named Kersetter before a Dec. 29 change at Guillot's suggestion to Grape Soda —which can be used as a racist term for a drink stereotypically associated with Black people." (emphasis added)

A check of Urban Dictionary confirms that "Grape Soda" is often used in a derogatory way.

This link takes care of it. Dude is a loser.

You’re missing my point. The name Grape Soda by itself probably wouldn’t have bothered people. It’s been a long time since I had some but grape soda is damn good.

Guillot can’t help himself because he a) thinks he’s funny and b) thinks saying racist things is edgy, so he sent out the tweet January 1st egging Rudolph on with the black fist emoji, etc. Ironically enough no one really pays attention to him so no one really caught wind of it until after the horse ran and he again opened his mouth.

I like that people defending him want to bring up Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock and COMEDY routines.

I feel like I live in the twilight zone where half of the country is so phucking dumb that it makes my head hurt.

After years and countless hours, I deleted my Twitter account. I am tired of the nonsense, you have abhorrent behavior from so many it has just become more of a hassle then it is worth. Both Twitter and the people on it seem to be doing everything they can to destroy its value. I will continue to listen to ATR and follow racing without the need to be subjected to Ken Rudolph who is the worst and Eric Guillot who is a complete schmuck. I need less moronic stuff in my life not more.

Yeah that’s the worst part of the whole thing. I’m not a Rudolph fan and Guillot has made him a sympathetic figure.

100%. He's always played the fool for effect and can't discern what's offensive, hurtful or unacceptable.

For two people like them to be making the news in racing for absolutely no reason at all, it has time to reflect on just how inane tweeter has become and see how damaging it. A marginal trainer with an off-putting sense of humor and a guy who has no business educating the public about the sport, at least on the handicapping side. How the heck is either the story?

is, was, and will be....good riddance

I see former DT poster Cowgirlintexas aka Arletta is defending Guillot on twitter.

She’s always been a moron.

:tro:

They aren't making news for "absolutely no reason at all" and it's not about an "off-putting sense of humor." It's about what somehow some people have deemed as acceptable that is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

I bet co-Favorite "Antifa attacked my Account" instead of heavily favored "I was only joking" which I couldn't see after his doubling down several times. This sport draws such ****ing scum, owners-trainers-players.... There are some great people you meet but beginning to become harder and harder to being in same room as the scum. Blessing that NHC pushed to August in this environment could have been explosive.

For a good laugh check out the off topic section of PA for their reaction.

I see Joe Drape called Guillot a “prominent trainer” in his article about the banning. He’s had a total of 30 starters since 2019. Not sure prominent is the word I’d use but...

Off Topic section is my motivation to do 45 minutes Peloton 7 days a week and 4 days HIIT running on my Peloton tread... LOL ... If they don't kill me in first minute I own them ;)

Interesting stuff.

:tro:

You make a great point.

Oh my God so good!!

:D:tro:

Guillot is pathetic I won't lose a minute of sleep worrying about him. He was easy to cancel he canceled himself.

Couldn't say it any better....:tro:

Rudolf has mastered the art of bull shlt. He can actually talk for 3 minutes straight and not say a F'kng thing.

Right Matty? Let's pad that bankroll! I need some some stacks!....

Guillot, who?

Everyone needs to lighten up. But since we are making complaints I also want to object to all the horses named....

and Happy New year everybody!

Shouldn't you be out on a ledge somewhere?

Yeah I mean Rudolph isn’t a great analyst so everyone should lighten up that a trainer is egging him on by saying racist things to him.

Thanks for letting us know. Have you done any new drawings?

Good post.

he is a shitty analyst and does the betting public a disservice routinely. Nobody deserves a horse named to demean them, the fact that it IS racially charged makes the act that much more deplorable.

How good or bad of an analyst he is should not even be brought up in the conversation. It’s completely irrelevant. It comes off as a “yeah but” and that’s just not ok. I am not accusing you of that cause I don’t know you but that’s how it comes off, as if in even the slightest way, it’s not so bad cause it’s only Rudolph.

Two things can be true at the same time and if you can't disseminate the context of each without conflating it's ok with me.

Best way to solve this is crisis is to bring the 2 parties together and have them sit down and talk about there differences privately. That could be a first step in helping to eliminate racism in the sport. That goes for all of America, lets follow the lead of a great man Mr. King. (Rodney)

"Can't we all just get along?"



Forget it, stupid idea.

:zz:

Get Better
 

Racism is the height of of human ignorance
Used in any way is wrong deplorable and not worthy of this great forums time!:mad:

Guillot is a piece of sh!t.

Rudolph is a terrible analyst.

A non-buffoon could have named the horse OFERSINCEGIACOMO if the point was to poke fun at his handicapping skills. Even I would have chuckled at that.

And all the on-air talent at TVG gets flamed but I don't hear about or see (and I spent too long on the names database to see if I'm way off) horses named MUTE SCHRUPP, or MUTE MATT. Never mind names that would stab at their ethnic identities.
