What were the best stretch duels of all time?

Shirreffs pulled the same stunt this year by sending Zardana out to take on Rachel Alexandra at the Fair Grounds, with decidely much better results.

Burr was like the equivalent of a horse that wins a Grade 1 race on the turf over a mile and a half and then only 7 days later winning a Grade 1 on dirt at a flat mile. Both duels took place in Jersey, so to be fair, maybe he couldn't carry his track with him.

This is why Hamilton appears only on the $10 bill while Andrew Jackson (who was a disciple of the ostracized Burr) appears on the $20.

Got milk?

i'm a hamilton fan, but not jackson....ol' aaron burr was quite the scoundrel. interesting bio's for sure!

hamiltons son died on the same spot of land as his father(well, technically the elder died in his bed, but u know what i mean), also in a duel. must have run in the family...
