Chuck can address this better than I, but a horse can lose upwards of 70 pounds in a race. And actually, Street Sense's herbalist told Steve Haskin Sunday that the colt lost only 10# in the Derby. Horses can also lose more weight after a big effort by going off their feed.

I should clarify this as the 70# is a number that doesn't accurately define what a horse can lose just running a race, but rather total weight loss in a day.. A 10# weight loss from running a race isn't necessarily 'stunningly low'..

Without stepping on a scale I have no idea how someone can determine if a horse lost 10 or 20 lbs in a race. I have heard a wide variety of numbers but remember that most horses lose a lot of water weight before they even get to the paddock if they are on Lasix.
