The handicapper has raised BRAMPOUR  by 9lbs from 159 to 168, yet GRANDOUET has only been raised by 2lbs from 164 to 166, dosen't make sense to me.
Pause • Switch to Standard View BRAMPOUR and GRANDOUET.

its because the jockey couldnt claim - but i would agree that taking the  quality of the jockey into consideration when handicapping is never usually done so why do it in this instance.

Only a ****ing idiot takes the jockeys claim into account. Brampour simply isn't as good as Grandouet. I know who I'd be backing in a match bet.

also it was good of the owners to let the young lad keep the ride when he couldnt claim - but who would do that now knowing the handicapper will punish them for it.
