PERFORMANCES

SURPRISING RESULTS IN HANDICAP EVENTS

THERE HAS ALWAYS been a small band of disgruntled owners, who never seemed to be satisfied with the allotment of weights. Perusing the results of the handicap events during the first half I found to my amazement that those ponies carrying weight for inches as per scale and over had more successes than those that were “let in”---so to speak.

The proportion was 19 events against 15 and it would be advisable to make a note of the weight carriers for future meetings. Hereunder is a list:
