Rtotally a great race! Can I run in it next year?! I'd so stay a virgin to win a race named after me! OH MY GOD!"[/i]
That actually almost happened in the early 1970s. A gelding named Petty Officer won three consecutive runnings of the Timeform Gold Trophy at Redcar (Britain), so they renamed it for him. And the next year he ran second in the race named for him.
