Name Changes

[my miss storm cat]

Every time I see the name the Evening Attire Stakes I smile. I love that they renamed the Aqueduct H. for him.

So I'm wondering... what other living horses deserve a race named in their honor or renamed (not a fan of this except in cases like the above. I wasn't a big fan of the Lady's Secret being renamed. That's wrong to swap one for another)?

...and what about specific races? Should, for example, the Arlington Million be renamed for John Henry? Is there a race that you feel should be changed to honor a specific horses?

Curious to hear your thoughts.

As soon as Musir retires I would hope the Sheik names something for him. Hr has raced 13 times in 3 years

I have to admit I preferred when stakes had names that werent changed every few years.

Man O' War is over the hill, I say we rename it the Gio Ponti.

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

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.
