We aren't talking about hidden weights or anything. Talking about scale weights. The Jockey Club has a scale that they go by in deciding how much of a weight break younger horses should receive from older and fillies from males. Ever notice the weights in the BC Classic? Did u notice that older horses carry 126 but the weight for the 3yo's changes between 121 and 122? That's because when the BC is in October, 3yo's receive a five-pound break and when it's in November, it's four pounds. Speaking of 10f races. The scale says that a 3yo is to receive a three-pound break from older at a mile in October so in actuality, Discreet Cat was assigned 127 and Sharp Humor 118.
