Perhaps someone can tell me why there are colts in this carrying less than the 9st 2lb
‘Weights colts & geldings 9st 2lb; fillies 8st 11lb Penalties a winner of a Listed race 3lb; of a Group 3 race 5lb; of a Group 2 or Group 1 race 8lb’
Thanks, Tim
September 12, 2019 at 15:11 #1453756The weight they carry is I believe to do with how much they cost at auction.
September 12, 2019 at 15:18 #1453757Its to do with the average price of the stallions offsprings apparently .
I stand corrected.
September 12, 2019 at 15:30 #1453758Thanks Potato. You’d think they’d make a mention of that in the race conditions.
September 13, 2019 at 10:27 #1453827Another odd one in the 6.00 Doncaster, The Jean Genie not in receipt of a fillies/mares allowance.
‘Weights 3yo fillies 8st 12lb; colts & geldings 8st 12lb; 4yo+ fillies 9st 4lb; colts & geldings 9st 4lb’
September 13, 2019 at 10:45 #1453828If you look at those weight allowances there is no fillies/mare allowance. the allowance is only for age due to it being a classified stakes race.
Agree with yesterdays race that they should have made it clear how the weights were worked out.
September 13, 2019 at 11:29 #1453829Thanks again Potato, found the rule you quoted regarding clasified stakes
139.1 All weight allowances for a horse are cumulative unless otherwise specified.
139.2 Fillies and mares shall, unless the Authority directs otherwise, receive the following allowances139.2.1 5lb in respect of a flat race which is not a flat Pattern Race, is not a flat Classified Stakes or is not a Rating Related Maiden Race;
139.2.2 3lb in respect of a flat Pattern Race; - AuthorPosts
