A horse named Covfefe, a reference to a typo in a viral tweet sent by President Trump, won a $1 million race at the Breeders’s Cup in California on Saturday.
Covfefe, a 3-year-old filly, won the Filly & Mare Sprint by three-quarters of a length with jockey Joel Rosario at Santa Anita Park.
The horse’s name derives from a late-night tweetstorm by President Trump in May 2017 where he wrote “Despite the negative press covfefe.”

Jamie Roth, the horse’s co-owner, told USA Today the White House hadn’t contacted her. “[Trump]’s not for me, but obviously he is for some other people,” she said. “He just doesn’t stand for the things that I believe it. But I believe in Covfefe.”
