Congratulations to the Maryland Jockey Club... American Sports most inept organization on this new low. Nice timing too as the Jacobs family celebrates the 40th anniversary of 1970 Horse of the Year Personality winning the Preakness. They are also marking 40 years since the passing of the Hall of Fame family patriarch Hirsch himself.

Never have I seen a sport so oblivious to the value of its' own history.

If they thought so much of him they should have named a stakes race for him when he was alive.
