Drosselmeyer has made 12 career starts at a distance of 9.5 furlongs or less and he's never run a Beyer higher than 92. He's horribly suited for a match race because of his running style.

I think Rapid Redux VS Drosselmeyer going 9fs at Charles Town would be fun to watch. RR would have a genuine chance in that race... especially because a lot of shippers into CT don't fire.

It's mental masturbation to even talk about the race -- but it would be fun to watch. I know I'd like to see it.

It will never happen, but if it did, my money would be on RR.
