The sad thing is, had Barbaro won the Preakness by a record margin and won every race in his career from that point on, they probably still would never have named a race for him at Pimlico. It's like they feel obligated to do it because he broke down there. Had they created a race it'd be one thing, to take it away from Sir Barton was just wrong. The Delaware Park race is much more appropriate and a fitting tribute.
