Isn't this a dangerous proposition? Why would you risk your horses health to satisfy an ego trip? It would be much better and safer to see them race in a 6+ horse field against other good horses. Match races do not show who is the "better" horse because it is not normal race conditions. It just puts more stress on the horse and jockey to win at all costs.
I will appeal to Jess Jackson because he seems to be the more rational of the two participants. Please don't take Dutrows bait. The Jackson family certainly doesn't need the money. I hope he remembers Ruffian.

Dude, are you serious? Its like saying Kobe and Lebron shouldnt play a game of 1 on 1 because they are more likely to get hurt, than if they played in a team setting.
There are match races that take place everyday at every track, There just happens to be other horses on the track.
LIE AH just wants a match race because they know its there only shot to beat the champ.
