Moonee Valley will witness the most hotly anticipated racing clash of the year this afternoon when Winx and Hartnell battle for the 2016 Cox Plate.
The hype and anticipation surrounding the buildup to the race is reminiscent of 30 years ago, when Bonecrusher and (Our) Waverley Star met in the 1986 edition of Australia's premier weight for age event.
What they delivered on Saturday October 25th, 1986, was an iconic sporting spectacle. The ultimate two-horse race recognised around the world as one of racing's greatest ever battles.
30 years on, Our Waverley Star Jockey Lance O'Sullivan and Bonecrusher's trainer Frank Ritchie give their memories of a thrilling race which would come to be known simply as the "Race of the Century"
