I would advise against listening to the comments made by presenters...

By definition, a handicap is meant to give all horses an equal chance of winning irrespective of weight...a horse carrying 60kgs or 52 kgs has just as much chance as the horse carrying 58 kgs....if all handicapped correctly...

Eg sharp design carrying top weight in a conditions race of 60 kg has a MR of 110. De Var hyt carries 2nd highest weight of say 58 kg but MR is only 104. Then theoretically If the handicapper has got it correct de var hyt would be 1kg out at the weights with sharp design and sharp design could be deemed weighted to win.

Add another horse say Jimmi choo carries 52kg's with a MR of 90 in that same race. Then he in turn should be receiving 10kg from sharp design but is only receiving 8 kg and is thus 2kg out at the weights with sharp design and 1kg out at the weights with De var hyt.

Hope my explanation makes sense and I may be mistaken but that's how I understand it.
