2yo races handicapped above and below unraced.

Races of 1800m and further in all classes do not contain the overall strength of races run at shorter distances. As such, they are normally scaled approximately 2kg inferior.

These scales are estimated on all races at their strongest level. At various times of the year any or all of these races may be scaled at an inferior level but the relative differences should remain the same.
