Shouldn't have changed the name. I understand "Vallenzeri" sounded suspiciously Italian, and they wanted to avoid the dreaded Italian Name Curse at the Eclipse Awards, but I think the (obviously Roman) gods are now cursing them for meddling with the nomenclature.

Not that it lessens the loss, but at least they still have that gray Tapit colt that won opening day as far as the Derby goes.
