Why doesn't it deserve to be debated? I like hypotheticals like this. Of course it doesn't really matter, but I think it makes for interesting discussion. All of those "hypothetical derby" threads were nothing but pure speculation, but I found them all interesting. Some people like hypothetical matchups and other people don't. I understand those that think they are pointless, but I think they are kind of fun.

And yeah, they had the same owners but that didn't stop them from meeting on dirt. Riva Ridge and Big Red had the same owner AND trainer but they still squared off.
