If they wanted to honor Stronach ... his Milwaukee Brew is one of just 3 horses in history to win 2 Santa Anita Handicaps (John Henry and Lava Man the other two)
Renaming the Goodwood the Milwaukee Brew would have at least made sense.
Renaming the Goodwood after Awesome Again makes about as much sense as Belmont Park naming a race after Zenyatta.

i agree with everything you say...but i don't think it's to honor stronach, probably just to remind people that awesome again is still around (50k at adena!). no such thing as bad p.r. and all that.
besides, you have the man o war, on turf. man o war never ran on turf.
