Game On Dude and Tizway -- perhaps the two best older dirt horses from start to finish this year -- both ran 97 Beyers at Charles Town going 9fs when 2nd and 3rd in the $1,000,000 stake.

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.
