I know that but what I was saying is they named a race after Birdstone but took away the one named for Sir Barton.

They also named two races after Barbaro to take away one named for Sir Barton.

The sad thing is, had Barbaro won the Preakness by a record margin and won every race in his career from that point on, they probably still would never have named a race for him at Pimlico. It's like they feel obligated to do it because he broke down there. Had they created a race it'd be one thing, to take it away from Sir Barton was just wrong. The Delaware Park race is much more appropriate and a fitting tribute.

I hear that Sir Barton is so upset by this, that his connections are going to sue everyone and anyone responsible.
