Default Barbaro Stakes?

The 10th race at Delaware Park this Sunday features King of the Roxy and Xchanger, and is named the Barbaro Stakes.
Am I missing something?
Maybe I have completely lost it, but didn't Chelokee win a race named the Barbaro Stakes at Pimlico earlier this year?
Isn't it a bit odd (and confusing) to have two different stakes races with the same name?

This use to be the Leonard Richard Stakes and I think they annouced the change to the Barbaro Stks before Pimilico changed the Sir Barton to the Barbaro Stks. I think it fine they have two stakes at different tracks named Barbaro Stakes, plus he broke is maiden at Delaware Park

They should call one of them the Orabrab stakes so we know the difference when you look at pedigrees.

Or Pimilco could find a really good horse that deserves to have a race named after him but doesn't, and change the name of their race to that.
Someone like..........oh I don't know...........maybe........Sir Barton?

Seriously, I've got nothing against Barbaro, but to take the race name away from Sir Barton to name it after Barbaro is borderline insane.
