If you have been following the progress of the racehorse ‘President Trump’ you’ll now have to switch over to ‘Fake News,’ which is apparently the gelding’s new handle.
Racing Post has been following the story of the South African Thoroughbred, and according to an earlier report, trainer Justin Snaith had been forced to geld President Trump. "President Trump was very vocal and would not focus on his work,” Snaith was quoted as saying, “I found him to be extremely stubborn. I considered blinkers and a tongue-tie but he was so unmanageable that I had no option but to geld him."
The former ‘President Trump,’ who apparently now goes by the handle ‘Fake News.’
Now, according to a follow-up article by Racing Post, President Trump is now apparently going by the name Fake News.
The National Horseracing Authority has forced the gelding’s name to be changed. An official with the NHA emailed Snaith Racing and said, “Unfortunately, with Donald Trump being president, the opinion of the NHA is that the name has now become problematic.”
Snaith Racing’s response was to submit the name Fake News for the unraced gelding, and, according to Racing Post, the name is going to be approved.
