Anyone know why at Flemington R1 (Sissano) is listed TAB no.1 even though it is not the topweight?

Yes, it is a set weights & penalty race with the penalties being for horses that have won a hurdle race - Sisssno, although winning over the jumps, has never won a hurdle race, so was re-handicapped when the error was noticed (by the jockey) yesterday.

Yeah, he got 67kgs originally.

So if the error was not made then he would not have been TAB no.1?

Yes, correct it would have been down amongst the minimum weight runners.
