Zenyatta Stakes reverting back to Lady's Secret this year

[my miss storm cat]

I'm a huge fan of hers (and of Rachel, for the record. No either / or for me) but this was just ridiculous in the first place.

I will always call the Distaff and Distaff and the same goes for the Lady's Secret.

It never should have been changed to begin with.

They really shouldn't rename historical races like this after horses unless they're dead or have had official retirement ceremonies.

I can see why the Mosses wouldn't have wanted to run Zenyatta in the Zenyatta Stakes though. That would be daft.

[alysheba4]

hope they ask for a "new" race named after their horse......dont fck with the ladys secret.........what was the P.E. before n.y.r.a. changed it?

[Merlinsky]

Just to mess with them, some other track ought to announce they're stealing the Zenyatta name for one of their G1s, then fess up that they're kidding. Seriously it's goofy, what they did so soon after her "retirement." Talk about trigger happy.

They played chicken with the racing gods and bailed.

They should call the Ladies Classic "The Race Formerly Known as the Distaff."
