Hi,

Question: in race 4, the 2yo gets 3kg, but at the published wfa scale, and in computaform, it states she should get 8kg against the 3yo's. Now I presume the wfa scales are for handicaps, but why get 3kgs in a maiden? Or is there a different scale elsewhere that applies? What would the weights have been if there was a 4 yo in the race?

Cheers & Thanks in advance

Txs guys and cheers Frodo
Will take the Marcus double onto Bud Boy

As I understand it, the scale for maidens are different; the WFA scale is being applied in handicaps (but minimum weight I think is still 52), pinnacles, condition races, etc. Maiden 2yr olds get 3 kg's over sprints and 4 kg's over 1600 (I think) up; a 4 yr old maiden will carry the same as a 3 yr old maiden (like Far Hills in the 3rd today).

there's no such thing as a racing certainty if I've punted it

TELL MY STAR shows good pace but fades, tries the 1000 metres for the first time and if the going is quick may be the lurker there??
