US officialdom needs to raise its racing weights and this would be welcomed by many jockeys who struggle to make weights in the US. This race is an handicap, in my estimation its given weight to carry in the UK would be 9-4(130). This consequently shows why the majority of young european animals have a better chance of winning races in the USA when shipped. Not only is the horse used to the weight it must carry it also as a better fed jockey in the saddle.St.Paddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015912239120662263noreply@blogger.com
