No one is going to pass up a G1 race for this. The match race would have to be after the BC

I think they should have a 2 or 3 furlong sprint race for the two horses. they can just unleash their "final kick" and see who is truely faster..

Don't know if I agree with that. Is Seabiscuit remembered more for the match race vs War Admiral, or for the string of stakes wins he ran off. How about the Swaps/Nashua race? Honestly I can't tell you off the top what either of them won other than the Triple Crown races. Ruffian v Foolish Pleasure is more remembered for it's tragic outcome, but still the point is that these types of events are so rare that they become part of the folklore of the game when compared to the winner of another race, Grade 1 or otherwise.
