Fall Highweight

[SniperSB23]

I love the weights in this race, very refreshing. Sir Greeley is pretty much my favorite horse in training but I think this is a waste. He should be in the Cigar Mile. Six furlongs is a little short for him and he really has nothing to lose if Discreet Cat beats him in the Mile. I agree that he is sitting on a big one.

Crafty Cammack was SENSATIONAL last time out at Delaware off the claim for Sandy Robbins/Tony Dutrow.
His number was freaky good, and he needed time off that start to try and avoid regression. Hes been working along super and jumpinng out of his skin ready to roll.
Hes got tactical speed and should lay off the Kazoo/Afrashaad pissing match up front.
I think he rolls in here.

Hooves, I think hes in there as a rabbit(for Mr. Whitestone of course, ).
I think he takes out Afrashaad, and Cammack lays off him.

I agree with you Mike, my top pick here and will use Ironton & Lucky Gamble
underneath. A turkey day swing for the fences

Actually, they seem a bit low for a highweight handicap. In a regular handicap, the handicapper is supposed to start at 126 (wfa for 4 and up) for the best horse and subtract pounds for each of the lesser animals, depending on how much worse than the topweight they are. In a highweight handicap, the starting point is supposed to be 140 lbs. Were there horses nominated who were 6 lbs. (what is that, what? 2 lengths?) better than Sir Greeley? But it is nice to see a significant range of weights for horses with a significant range of accomplishments.

Not positive but I would guess Silver Train may have been nominated and assigned 140.

I just checked and Silver Train was nominated.
