I just caught the sixth race from the Vaal in South Africa. The top weight in the handicap carried 144 pounds, while the low weight toted 114, then got an apprentice to get him down to 111. Low-weight sent off at 5-2, finished a fast closing second. Top weight showed speed and faded to mid pack in field of 12. Winner was 6-5 and favored throughout, carried 130, and led all the way.
The Ragozin Sheets would be fun to look at for a race like that!
