Every horse carries an "international rating" and the weights are based on that rating. Curlin was rated (I think) the best 10f dirt horse on Earth last season at 129.
Horses carry over 130 on a regular basis there. Generally the top rated horse in a handicap gets 132 so as to level things out when the rating scale my go from 90-110.
