So what is the rule about 4yo's with regards to weight in h'caps? Unioniste is down as racing from a mark of 143 with an OR of 137.

booster - IOU.......Cheers for the education.
HaylingBilly 03 Dec 12 17:18 I am going in. Thanks for the education. Learning all the time. Much appreciated. booster 03 Dec 12 17:14 You do if he's declared at the overnight stage but balloted out. You don't if he's not declared at the last declaration which i think will be 48 hours for this race. Money for him today suggests he'll be targeted at the race and took 11s with Stan James out of Saturday's winnings at the weekend. Good Luck if you're joining in, looks chucked in to me. |

Walkon ran a smasher but had no chance conceding the weight to that thing. FFS |

Thanks, nice to get it right occasionally and even better when you're on a run as we all know. The good times have to be enjoyed but you can never get carried away. You've really got to hand it to Nicholls and the lad who rode him got it spot on but also feel sorry for Walkon who's been beaten by 2 well handicapped horses and will probably go up another 5lbs for that. Just wonder where you go with a 4 year old who''ll probably be rated 150 over fences and is likely to need a rest after yesterday. Thought Tatenen might be the horse to take out of the race for the Ascot handicap he usually runs in in January.

Booster, it's my guess that WALKON will drop 2lbs after this result.

Walkon was beaten 11 lengths so you would hope the handicapper will leave him alone.

Hope he does but he was clear of the 3rd and miles ahead of another 6 finishers so he'll be lucky not to get an increase. As far as being beaten 11 lengths he was conceding weight to probably the best handicapped horse of the season so far.
