Hesi Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Reading other sites as you do, but had seen it earlier on today on NZTR The Sir Tristram Fillies Classic It has become the Dave and Karyn Ellis Fillies Classic I have to agree with that very opinionated character Kopia......puke How does this happen, who approves these name changes, or is it a matter if you have enough money you can just do it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buller Rep Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Firstly I think that I agree with the comments above. However before I firmly slam the change of name, what is the registered official name of the race? If the offical name of the race is the Sir Tristram Classic, then by all means David and Karen, sponsor it by ADDING you name to the official name BUT don’t replace it.
