If you really want to pay tribute to Eight Belles, try not making your track a pived highway for every big day. Would make a lot more difference than naming a relatively irrelevant stakes race after a relatively irrelevant horse.

As useful as the MJC changing the Sir Barton to the Barbaro.

A shame they took La Troienne's name off a race, thus out of the public eye.
They should have thought of something else if they wanted to honor Eight Belles.

There is little more annoying to me than the renaming of stakes races.

I don't know what #43567 might be, but I think number one is when the anticipated joke from Justin Dew falls flat. I think he was expecting the real Justin to show up.

I lived through the renaming of anything that didn't walk after JFK took his fateful ride in 1963, only to have the name taken away after the emotionalism wore off. Barbaro had 2 races changed due to overemotionalism. Barbaro was more important than our first "Triple Crown" winner or Leonard Richards? (I still don't know who Leonard Richards was/is, but if he was important enough to name a race after, the race probably shouldn't have been changed.) Now, The Barbaro at DEL has been reduced from $300K to $150K. (The Dick was reduced from $300K to $200K). So barbaro was important enough to steal Leonard Richard's race from him, but not as important as Robert Dick? Quote:
Make a new race for Eight Belles, give Sir Barton his race back (he's the first TC Winner on my Kentucky Derby Glasses). This renaming trend is idiotic. (I'm also still pissed about the Explosive Bid at FG) perhaps, my rum is talking, but I think not..........................
