Nice horse who won everyones favorite race, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup . I think he had a name change too but just cannot remember and don't feel like spending the night looking for Saudi racing sites.

Well I realize that most of you had probably had many sleepless nights wondering about this...

Kharimes! That's the awful name he ran under!

It was driving me mad.

Muller as well... he became Alsaqeer poor guy.

Okay I'll step away from the nice thread now...

I started by asking who else deserves a race but this made me wonder something else...

... but this is the line that I'm wondering about...

The Eddie D Stakes, which has Grade 3 status, is the new name for a race previously known as the Morvich Handicap, and is part of a change in stakes names for the autumn meeting.

Wonder how many and which ones...
