Pretty much what happen in the 1940's with War Admiral and Seabiscuit. War Admiral wins the triple crown, and a year later is the Seabiscuit story. Demand for the 2 to race 1 on 1 was high. The money was really too good to turn down lol. And both horses were near there primes(Granted War Admiral was sort of past his best)
Both horses are still young for a repeat of this 1940's story. Its not like Secretariat and Seattle Slew runs that happen 5 or 6 years apart lol. Again every one knows of the fame race between the 2, but it was no derby or title race so to speak. People wanted the 1 on 1 match, paid the money and got one of the best showings in race horse history.
