Answer 1

If you are familiar with Lawyer Ron?  I know Mr. Ron Bamburger that the horse was named after.  He is a lawyer practicing in Owensboro, Ky USA

Answer 2

You mean like Lingfield Park or Goodwood?  I think not!  You can have a race named after you if you want.  If it was in memory of a relative or for a birthday or anniversary, you pay a few quid and the race will be named whatever you choose.  Maybe that's what he means but is just trying to brag...................

Answer 3

Yes. I have a good friend who is called "Newton-Abbot Racecourse".
