Potoooooooo

My dad just told me about this actual, real racehorse-- Pot8O’s. It delights me so I had to share.

“The origin of his name has several different versions. According to the most common, Abingdon intended to call the young colt "Potato" and instructed the stable boy to write the name on a feed bin. The stable boy spelled the name as "Potoooooooo" (Pot followed by 8 "o"s; that is, a failed attempt at spelling phonetically), which so amused Abingdon that he adopted the spelling.”
