Does Easy Goer have a stakes race named after him? I don't remember seeing one...if he doesn't then surely Summer Bird doesn't deserve one...

It's a little surprising that NY doesn't have a race for him.. You'd think will all he accomplished in the state, plus who his owners were, that there would be a race named in his honor...

Easy Goer and Summer Bird completed the Belmont/Travers/Jockey Gold Cup in the same year. They should have a race in their honour as should Secretariat for obvious reasons of what he accomplished on the dirt and turf at Belmont.

I agree they both swept the 3, but you CAN'T give Summer Bird a stake race for winning the 3 and not give Easy Goer a stake with 10 New York Graded wins...

Sure both should Easy Goer can have a race named after him first as long as both horses are recognized, Secretariat should have a race in his name also. I think it's ridiculous that Arlington Park has a race named in his honor and not Belmont. I seem to remember Woodbine and CD having a race named the Northern Dancer at the same time so it is not out of the ordinary, rename the Belmont Stakes "the Secretariat Belmont Stakes" or "the Secretariat Turf Classic", It's great marketing and it would make everyone feel good when they hear it. It's probably too logical and we are thus stuck in naming races after Geographical locations or people, which makes a helluva alot of sense huh?

Is there any one reason why Easy Goer does not have a stake named after him? How about Sunday Silence...is there a California Stake named after him?

The Brooklyn Hdcp and The Suburban Hdcp are due for a name change, but with the NYRA, it will probably happen in 2050.
