I agree that renaming of stakes races is kind of annoying, but I think criticism of CD for this move is criticism for the sake of criticism. And I am critical of CD often.
Are there any good memories concerning Eight Belles and CD? What exactly would be the reasoning behind renaming a race after Eight Belles except for some cheap PR? If you criticize CD for every move they make you wont be wrong often.
