If With Anticipation and Rinkaverse can have races named after them then why not horses that have had a bigger historical impact on NY racing than lesser one's. Atleast they did the right thing with Forego, but it is strange to me Secretariat is associated with Arlington Park rather than Belmont, I don't know maybe they beat them to the punch by naming the Secretariat stks after him, but it's hard not to think of him and what he did at Belmont Park.

The whole naming system is a joke.

If it's a joke, then it's about time they start honouring horses that have had an impact on the sport, horseracing is alot about sentimentality, the stars are the horses. What is the stubborness with sticking with same outdated names of races...This reminds me of why I hate Baseball now, you have a perfect game pitched the other night, it should have been overturned but Bud sticks to some old fashioned concerpt of not overturning the call. It's ridiculous if you ask me how baseball sticks to some old etiquette. Horseracing is much the same.
