It's easy to now look back on a recording of that race between Bustino and Grundy, theirs been a few good finishes, but it was also the anticipation of the race and the fact that it played out the way it did, the finisher against the galloper and both turned up on the day, unlike so many so called clashes that turn out to be something of a damp squib that rarely lives up to the expectations.
