Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

Addeybb would win a match race easier than he would a normal race IMO

Can’t see how a match race between these two would hold much, if any interest at all. It’s not like they are Winx & Enable.

I can't think of a horse and jockey combination LESS suited to match racing than VE/JMac. The other jockey will be giggling in the barriers thinking of how easy it's going to be to get VE to pull her head off.LOL

Won't happen, just the VE connections having their "look at me" moment after he beat her again on the weekend.

And as tlaz said above, Addeybb would just have to turn it into a sit and sprint race and let her run her race in the first half.

Maybe the could have a pacemaker like they did for Mount Eden in his attempt at the mile record , a little hazy on the result but have an idea he smashed the record .

VE would win more times in a 20 horse race than she would in a 1 on 1

Hate match races.   Most end in tragedy.

Well, to be honest I havnt seen a match race in a long time. I always hope owners have more sense than to do that to their horse.   But back years ago when I lived in the states I saw a couple, and the one that always comes to mind was Ruffian.

Don't think that had anything to do with the conditions of the race though

Maybe not, but she was  under immense pressure and she cracked.  ( Who would know what she had been "treated" with, way back then ? )  I never wanted to see a match race again.  Makes me feel sick when they talk match races.
