That is very hard luck indeed Collingwood.
What causes this is the ridiculous name changes to all the races, very confusing. The S.A. Oaks should be the S.A. Oaks end of story.
I know the sponsors are crucial to racing, but I'm one with tradition, keeping the history of racing intact.
The Victoria Derby would still be the Victoria Derby, "sponsored by AAMI", not the AAMI Victoria Derby.
If they think that changing the name of the race, creates greater awareness of the product, they are sadly mistaken. The real benefit to the company is having a presence on track, a speech, a trophy, and signage - not the race name.
Sorry to hear of your woe.
