Yeh, you know 2013 will mark the 40th anniversary of argubably the single most vivid sporting performance ever witnessed. Secretariat's Belmont win, it would be fitting if Belmont would honor this accomplishment with renaming either the Belmont stakes or the Turf Classic in which he won in track record time in his name, I'm floating the idea, I don't care if someone steals it. But it is long overdue that a race be named after him at the place where he forged so many great memories.
