How's the weight assignment "unfair" ?

You do realize that this race isn't a handicap...and Frankel knew exactly how much weight he'd be carrying when he entered the horse.

Frankel also is a rabid sheet figure user...and has a history of scratching in situations like this.

I'm not saying Fabulous Strike is a mortal lock either---as he had smoke and mirror trips in those races, over what can be a peculiar surface. Although, the figures are stone cold accurate---and he and Greg's Gold are almost certain to run 1-2...with him being the more likely winner.
