You should try to follow international racing, where sponsor names can change every few years. The big 1800m race at the big summer meet at Perth has been the Western Mail, the Marlboro Cup, the Rothmans Cup, the Winfields Cup, the Fruit 'n Veg S, and most recently, the Kingston Town Classic (named after a famous Australian racehorse). The mile race on Victoria Oaks day has been the George Addmas H, the Honda S, the Chrysler H, The Ampol S, and is currently the Emirates S. Most of the changes in the last 20 years. ARRRRGH

La Troienne back on Churchill stakes schedule
By Marty McGee http://www.drf.com/news/article/110082.html LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Churchill Downs on Wednesday released its 2010 stakes schedule for both the spring and fall meets, with some of the minor revisions being attributable to the 27th Breeders' Cup championships being run here Nov. 5-6. The spring schedule, highlighted as always by the $2 million Kentucky Derby on May 1, underwent a handful of changes, most notably the restoration of the La Troienne Stakes. The $300,000 La Troienne replaces what had been known as the Louisville Stakes, formerly the Louisville Breeders' Cup Handicap, a filly-mare race held annually on the Kentucky Oaks undercard. Until being renamed the Eight Belles for the 2009 running, the La Troienne had been for 3-year-old fillies on the Derby undercard.

Here's what you have to ask:
If she didn't die would she have gotten a race named after her for finishing 2nd in the Derby? The answer is no.
