Sure both should Easy Goer can have a race named after him first as long as both horses are recognized, Secretariat should have a race in his name also. I think it's ridiculous that Arlington Park has a race named in his honor and not Belmont. I seem to remember Woodbine and CD having a race named the Northern Dancer at the same time so it is not out of the ordinary, rename the Belmont Stakes "the Secretariat Belmont Stakes" or "the Secretariat Turf Classic", It's great marketing and it would make everyone feel good when they hear it. It's probably too logical and we are thus stuck in naming races after Geographical locations or people, which makes a helluva alot of sense huh?
