Oak Tree renames the Lady's Secret the Zenyatta

[letswastemoney]

Something like the NYRA Mile being renamed the Cigar Mile was a good idea, since it didn't already have a legendary horse in its title in the first place.

Is anybody actually naming a race after Bobby or was that just part of an example to make a point?

I think they should name the 4th race at Charlestown for RA -- formerly known as the "Jimbo's Bar & Grill" purse...

Zenyatta should come out of retirement (if she really is retired) and win the Grade 1 Zenyattta next year. It will be the first time a horse has won a race named after themselves. Then if she goes to Churchill and wins the Classic next year, we should go back in time and award her the HOY for both 2009 and 2010.

This is an easy one. Just rename the Kentucky Oaks the Rachel Alexandra iz Hella Awesome!!!1!11!! Stakes. That should one-up these whores.

Seriously, what a bunch of jokers behind this horse. Mike Smith says she's even better on the dirt. Whoever was conducting the interview should've given that toolbox a swirlie right then and there.

Yeah, I suppose you know better than the jockey that's been on her all her life.

So why did they ship her out of California to run on dirt all of one time? To cut down on travel costs? Give me an effing break. It's completely hollow hyperbole and if you see it as anything else I've got a bridge to sell you.

If Rachel can win the BC Classic next year assuming that her campaign doesn't end in Aug-Sept, then maybe she can have a race named after her also. This renaming of races is alot of nonsense to me anyway, I don't think this cheapens Lady's Secret legacy to any knowledgable race fan, there are many races that have been renamed and while I would have kept the name of the race the way it was, I am not getting worked up over it, this just seems to be another way to pile to take shots at Zenyatta by her naysayers. I'm going to file this one away when Rachel has a race named after her and if the circumstances are simliar will there be the same vociferous objections.

if they renamed the honeybee, the martha washington or the fantasy, i wouldn't care. but if they took away say, the personal ensign and renamed it, i would definitely have a problem. as was said above, it's not zen getting a race-it's lady's secret losing one.
