did a research project on weight assignments a few years back and found this tidbit--don't know who it is credited to though.
"for every pound added over 8 furlongs (one mile) slows a horse by approximately 1 length or about 1/5 of a second." but obviously a good horse is a good horse and a great horse will carry whatever you put on his back and win--for example Dr. F ager won carrying 134 or Native Dancer in the 50's won carrying 137 for 7 furlongs
