Zenyatta has won 2 BC and 2 LS's and created history by being the 1st filly/mare to win the Classic all at SA.

Though as I stated renaming races is alot to do about nothing to me, if they were to rename a race, this one is not outrageous by any means by what she accomplished at SA. From a historical standpoint she has had alot more memorable monents at SA than LS did.

It's not like they are renaming the Lady's Secret the Lethal Heat Stakes.

Please look stuff up beforehand.

Lady's Secret nearly took the entire La Canada series at SA, and also won the Santa Margarita.

The only reason people shouldn't care about the switch is that the Lady's Secret Handicap was created solely as a prep for the Breeder's Cup back in '95 I think, so while the horse's name is quite historic the race itself is not.
