Bart Cummings has said “weight will stop a train”, which is a well known quote of his. I haven’t read any book on Bart Cummings but I do know that he and many other trainers put weight right up there as an issue. I am convinced that this is the trainers one percenters (much, much less than that actually) and their ego on display to demonstrate how hard the training game is, which it is I guess. How many times have you seen comments in the racing guide which say “Weight Certainty”, or ………. “Big Red” meets “Gunsynd” 2 ˝ kgs better off than when “Gunsynd” won by a half head over “Big Red”. 2 ˝ kgs for a half head result ??? ………. Mugs rush in and back “Big Red” and the bookies collect again.

Strike weight from the top 10 filters from any system, it’s over rated I believe.
