official name should be used

The race was called the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum Brands! That is the name.

We use the correct name in articles about stadiums. Auchansa (talk) 04:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This issue was brought up on the main Kentucky Derby article a few years ago and the article was moved back and forth. I believe the consensus was to follow WP:COMMONNAME for the article name (it is known by the public as simply the Kentucky Derby) and mention the sponsorship in the opening paragraph. I'm looking for the links to that discussion. Froggerlaura ^ribbit 15:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
