how much is this race worth?

$6 or $7 k...


Over The Road should carry 68kg against that lot...... I think the ratings say it all....

should take Call Centre over!

I thought an old mate of mine would have been running in that. He went around at Broken Hill on the weekend, good ol' GREG.

Whoever gets the prized ride may have trouble trying to make the weight

There was a horse in QLD last week scratched as their was no suitable rider that could make the weight on a 60kg handicapped horse

I've always wondered what would happen in such situations where a horse is allocated 60-65kg???

How can the same rider get a ride on the same day with a horse in race 2 that carries 57kg, then on a horse that carries 60kg in race 7??? (for example)

I assumed that they could add weights onto the horse or rider???

They add weights into the saddle of the horse....

That's what i thought.


What's 'Davey Carlson' on about then?

What im 'on about' is because jockeys rarely need lead they will only have a few kilos worth in you kit bag at any time, so say Im going to a meeting and I weigh 52kg and my rides are 54, and 55 I would only bring enough lead/packing to ride those 2 horses. If I was asked to ride a horse at 60kg and could not borrow/find somewhere 5kg of lead I couldn't make the weight as what happened in QLD.

You should know what you have to ride at and carry the appropriate weight.... if its a pick up ride surely some of the other hoops not riding will lend you some weights..... if all else fails they could put dutchys wallet in their pockets

62kg given what a morale!!!! Every other horse on the minimum of 54. If he puts an apprentice on can come down to 59..... All Aboard??

May be a dumb question, but when is the Cup run?

Sat..... non-tab

what's Ty Fagg riding AG?

he has the prized mount on Devices..... looks a good chance to run the quin. He knows that track like the back of his hand and is the strongest whip rider in SA.

Without a doubt T Fagg best rider to have on in a driving finish
