Remove Sir Barton's name from said race so Barbaro can replace him? Bad idea!
Why on earth can't a new race be created to honor Barbaro? Not that this kind of official name flip-flopping is without precedent, I'm just saying there is no justification. Inaugurated in 1993, the 1 1/16 mile race for three-year-olds commemorates the first Triple Crown winner Sir Barton's 1919 achievement. Why the change?
Horse fans, speak up! There are plenty of races to go around! Why should one modern horse cancel out another from an earlier era?
In other Barbaro news, a children's book is planned, and there's a TY plush of Barbaro I must get my hands on!
