You could promote it like a boxing match... The current all-time win streak king VS the last out Breeders Cup Classic winner.
and RR would have such a huge pace advantage that it would certainly be a very interesting looking race turning for home... Drosselmeyer is so poorly suited to a match race and Rapid Redux would certainly be able to run a 90+ Beyer with no early and middle pressure.
Get some slots track in the Mid-Atlantic to put up a six figure purse... as brutal as these Eclipse voters are ... the winner of this silly event might be able to steal Champion Older Male.

If you're the connections of Drosselmeyer, what would be the incentive for this? It's a lose/lose regardless of the outcome.
If you lose the race, you lost to a vastly inferior horse. If you win, you beat a vastly inferior horse. Trust me, there is no glory for beating a terribly outclassed opponent.
