What inspired the owner or breeder to use that name ��

Just a guess on my part, but I'm thinking it might be an admirer and not a detractor. Would you want to name your horse after someone that is universally reviled like John Wayne Gacy or Ted Bundy? There are those, I'm sure that revile Dr. Fauci, but those that admire him too.

I think that there are owners that try to make some sort of social commentary with the names they choose and I guess that's as good a reason for a name as any. I think I saw one named Trump something or another last week, but can't recall the exact name.

This is probably a discussion that could veer off into politics pretty easily. I think I'll just leave it at Dr. Fauci had a tough and unenviable job.
