I thought this thread was going to be about Ittasak, aka Dynever. I guess it still could be.

Sure it can.

Zacocity became Sattaie, Premium Tap Allam, Muller is now Alsaqeer and Joe Louis... didn't they change his name too?

Nice horse who won everyones favorite race, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup . I think he had a name change too but just cannot remember and don't feel like spending the night looking for Saudi racing sites.

I won't bombard anyone with all the HK runners... let's just say there are a LOT (but at least they get cool, somtimes fun, interesting or occassionally really really bad names. As far as I'm concerned these beat Sattaie and Allam any day of the week).

Dynever did not have a name change. He's dead now, colic got him late 2011, but has been a really successful sire.

I'm almost certain he did have a name change to the one I listed. I have the old PPs somewhere.

Of course he did.

Pat's wrong.

King's Boy won this race last year before finishing a distant fifth in the Dubai World Cup. Dynever, whose name has been changed to Ittasak by his new owners, Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Sons, finished another 6 1/2 lengths in front of Alssarh, the Argentine-bred formerly known as Second Reality.

Better Talk Now...

He was in the BC how many times? He holds the record, right?

How about a race named for him?

Perfect Drift?

Well I realize that most of you had probably had many sleepless nights wondering about this...

Kharimes! That's the awful name he ran under!

It was driving me mad.

Muller as well... he became Alsaqeer poor guy.

Okay I'll step away from the nice thread now...

I started by asking who else deserves a race but this made me wonder something else...

Friday, 24 February 2012:
(excerpt)

Auckland Racing Club and the connections of champion New Zealand mare Sunline, will unveil the Sunline Memorial at Ellerslie on Auckland Cup Day on March 7.

A statue in commemoration of Sunline will be unveiled beside her grave just outside the entrance to the stables at Ellerslie Racecourse.

The world's highest earning racemare of her time, Sunline (Desert Sun x Songline) raced on 48 occasions for 32 wins including 13 Group I races, nine seconds and three thirds to earn over NZ$14.5 million.

She was named New Zealand Horse of the Year on four occasions and is also the only horse ever to win the Australian Horse of the Year title three times.

... but this is the line that I'm wondering about...

The Eddie D Stakes, which has Grade 3 status, is the new name for a race previously known as the Morvich Handicap, and is part of a change in stakes names for the autumn meeting.

Wonder how many and which ones...

I think when folks hear "the Mine That Bird Derby" they'll assume you wanna talk about when Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby.

But the Dr Dino has such a nice flow to it. Of course the Solar Splendor or Majestys Price (both 2 time winners) do as well.
