As for the weight, I think the spread is more important than the actual weight. It is generally accepted by some horseplayeres that 1 lb equals 1 length in the final result, and to me that is substantial when you are giving that amount of weight to a horse of St. Trinians caliber.
In the end it may not matter, Zenyatta will probably run her down anyway, but she can't have a subpar ride from Smith or an off day.

I see, it's all so easy when you let the surface lines completely blur. I mean, who wouldn't take into consideration whether a horse is actually running on their preferred surface? After all, if you do that, how does the 2009 BC Classic field look?
