Zenyatta Stakes reverting back to Lady's Secret this year

:rolleyes:

I'm a huge fan of hers (and of Rachel, for the record. No either / or for me) but this was just ridiculous in the first place.

I will always call the Distaff and Distaff and the same goes for the Lady's Secret.

It never should have been changed to begin with.

They really shouldn't rename historical races like this after horses unless they're dead or have had official retirement ceremonies.

I can see why the Mosses wouldn't have wanted to run Zenyatta in the Zenyatta Stakes though. That would be daft.

hope they ask for a "new" race named after their horse......dont fck with the ladys secret.........what was the P.E. before n.y.r.a. changed it?

Just to mess with them, some other track ought to announce they're stealing the Zenyatta name for one of their G1s, then fess up that they're kidding. Seriously it's goofy, what they did so soon after her "retirement." Talk about trigger happy.

They played chicken with the racing gods and bailed.

exactly!

They should call the Ladies Classic "The Race Formerly Known as the Distaff."

good, that and getting back to dirt will help sa gain some repect..

... AND getting back to the BC being one day instead of the ladies day nonsense.

Oaklawn ought to rename the Apple Blossom after Zenyatta.

Nah, that's still thinking too small.

Just rename the BC Classic the Zenyatta Classic and carry her to the post on a giant float with a trojan horse figure of Z made entirely out of flowers and seeds like the Rose Parade. Screw it, rename the Rose Parade the "Zenyatta Parade." :p

Renaming racetracks is very popular these days...

How about on day 1 of the BC having the Ladies Zenyatta Classic and on day 2, having the Zenyatta Classic?

I prefer to just have one day of the World Zenyatta Championships.

Well, yeah, but you can still have both races. Which, by the way, she's won both of.

They should probably wait until she's in foal though to announce the change.

Nah, she'd just end up being the first BC winner to accomplish a victory while in foal.

And risk the undefeated record?

NO way.

lol yes, you've finally found the hole in this totally logical progression. :wf ;) Everything made so much sense until you brought up the record.

Just take a race that is N3L and rename it the Zenyatta Stakes, since that's what most of the plugs she's beating are still eligible for.

more zenyatta bashing, didnt that jump the shark about 6 months ago.
