Hovdey says in the article it's just unfortunate coincidence, and he's right. His only criticism was of the headline written after the horse's victory, which yeah, could have been better thought out.

I think in the wake of something so awful people flail out for something, anything, to put blame on as a way of trying to exert some control over a scary world. Imagine if the horse had been named "Violent Video Game."
