Really.

Match races are not the way I have pictured or enjoyed this sport in my lifetime.

One on one horse races are for a different fandom, time and place.

they may be boring, i remember watching one a few months ago at calder, all but two horses scratched.
the excitement generated would probably be all pre-race if these two were to face off. i just disagree that matches shouldn't happen due to any safety issues. matter of fact, they're probably safer than a full field-how often have we seen when several horses pay a price when the lead horse breaks down?
