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