You should try to follow international racing, where sponsor names can change every few years. The big 1800m race at the big summer meet at Perth has been the Western Mail, the Marlboro Cup, the Rothmans Cup, the Winfields Cup, the Fruit 'n Veg S, and most recently, the Kingston Town Classic (named after a famous Australian racehorse). The mile race on Victoria Oaks day has been the George Addmas H, the Honda S, the Chrysler H, The Ampol S, and is currently the Emirates S. Most of the changes in the last 20 years. ARRRRGH

Pretentious anyone?

the fruit n veg stakes? what's next, fish and chips? bangers and mash stakes?

Now if they would rename The Churchill Downs Handicap on derby day to the Luke Krythbosch HC.

La Troienne back on Churchill stakes schedule

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Churchill Downs on Wednesday released its 2010 stakes schedule for both the spring and fall meets, with some of the minor revisions being attributable to the 27th Breeders' Cup championships being run here Nov. 5-6.

The spring schedule, highlighted as always by the $2 million Kentucky Derby on May 1, underwent a handful of changes, most notably the restoration of the La Troienne Stakes. The $300,000 La Troienne replaces what had been known as the Louisville Stakes, formerly the Louisville Breeders' Cup Handicap, a filly-mare race held annually on the Kentucky Oaks undercard. Until being renamed the Eight Belles for the 2009 running, the La Troienne had been for 3-year-old fillies on the Derby undercard.

Here's what you have to ask:

If she didn't die would she have gotten a race named after her for finishing 2nd in the Derby?

The answer is no.

I am a certified expert on this subject and Heroin wasn't called "horse" because of its past use in Horse doping.. Heroin isn't making anything move fast if at all. Heroin is not a drug that can be used to locally...It's a beautiful product when abused correctly please don't disrespect it..lol

:eek: . So now there's a La Troienne AND an 8 Belles?
