Who wins match races case in point: Typecast vs. Convenience at Hollywood Park, 1972 (I think). The two were vying for top mare in the west. Convenience was a speed horse and Typecast was deep closer. Convenience went out and set the pace as she wished, Typecast behind a couple lengths. Typecast closed hard, but Convenience held on by a nose. Typecast went on to be named champion older mare of the year, largely off of her turf wins over males in the Hollywood Invitational, Sunset, and Man o' War.
