Most racing fans will know about the thrill surrounding Grundy vs Bustino & Kauto Star vs Denman duels and how they captured the imagination …
So, what two horses would’ve you loved to have seen go head-to-head in the ultimate fantasy battle? These horses can be from any era. No stupid answers please … such as Dayjur vs Red Rum LMAO
I’ll kick things off … loved to have seen a match with Viking Flagship going against Moscow Flyer. Both of these were tough-as-nails and seemingly unbeatable in a finish when push came to shove

A best of three series between Sea Bird and Secretairiat over turf, dirt and Polytrack
Dancing Brave
v
Nashwan
over 1m, 11/4m and a 11/2m just to prove who was the better horse! Reason being Dancing Brave never got near the plaudits Nashwan received for winning much the same races,its only in recent years strangely enough that The Brave gets the recognition he should have had then!
Big Buck’s
Vs
Inglis Drever
Would have been great to see these 2 dominant staying hurdlers meet in the big one at Cheltenham…
Arkle v Flyingbolt ( 3m Cheltenham )
Sea Bird v Ribot ( 1 1/2 m Longchamps )
Brigadier Gerard v Tudor Minstrel (1m Newmarket )
Dancing Brave v Sea The Stars ( 1 1/4m Sandown )
Nijinsky v Mill Reef ( 1 1/2m Ascot )
Dayjur v Abernant ( anywhere )

Quixall Crossett v Kauto Star.
A 3 miles Steeplechase at Haydock with QC being given a 1m head start.
Big Buck’s
Vs
Inglis Drever
Would have been great to see these 2 dominant staying hurdlers meet in the big one at Cheltenham…
Big Buck’s may have superior talent, but can you imagine, taking into consideration the way Big Buck’s is ridden, Inglis Drever allowing him past on the run-in?
The Drever’s eyes would have bulged out of their sockets and he would have said "C’mon then, Bucky. Give it your best shot".
He would have worried the big softy out of it.
———————————————————
They never raced outside of their respective countries, so it would have to be a ‘best of two series’…
Bosra Sham vs Zarkava
at Longchamp and Newmarket over ten furlongs.
Big Bucks versus Inglis Drever would have been a non contest, as much as I loved Inglis, he wouldn’t have stood a chance
Flat – Dubai Millenium v Montjeu, 10f.
Jumps – Kauto Star v Moscow Flyer in the Melling when they were both (say) 9yo would have been some spectacle.
Edit – Great minds Neil.
Rachel Alexandra vs. Zenyatta 1 1/4 mile dirt
Flatterer vs. Lonesome Glory 2 1/2 mile hurdles @Saratoga
Lonesome Glory vs. Kauto Star 2 1/2 mile steeplechase
Jay Trump vs. Arkle 3 mile steeplechase
Jay Trump vs. Arkle 3 mile steeplechase
With all due respect, Miss Woodford; but in the infamous words of your fellow American, John McEnroe – You cannot be serious.
More like a total mis-matched race.
Come on, Jay Trump would have to started racing the day before – and even then he’d be a poor second behind the great one.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
6m chase on heavy ground at Chepstow – Just So v Cythere v The Risky Viking (the first horse I owned a share in).
