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.

It was a little more involved than that, which only makes it better.
