I dont think she ever won a stake

She was 2nd in a G3 once. Are you telling me that's not worthy of immortalizing?

It would've killed them to rename this race the Zenyatta instead of renaming the Lady's Secret? It's a G1.

I thought the Chandelier was named after the Chandelier Room at the track, similar to the "FrontRunner"

Maybe they can name one "Hot Dog Stand"?

How about naming one "The Smoggy Mountains" in honor of the San Gabriel mountains?

The Mens Room Stakes is pretty catchy.
