nope, you're right. that's how things used to be. now, it's keep the star under 130, and then try to give low weights to the others--but how low can you really go? i'd imagine some with low imposts will end up in the overweight section of the 'late changes' that day.
i just find it a bit funny that a horse can carry 126 when barely three, but a year later someone bitches about 2 more pounds. it's ridiculous.
