How many times does a horse throw a joclkey and he's neck and neck with the winner at the wire? Granted a horse - a jockey is more than just a few pounds less but most of the time the horse also encounters trouble when throwing the jockey. I believe weight is an issue but not a large one. I hate it when a horse breaks his/her maiden then moves up in class and carries more weight. I also like a 4y old maiden that won carrying 123 against 3y olds and then drops 5-7 pounds in the next race out.
