OK horse A carries 55Kg horse B 53Kg. Quite a bit of an advantage wouldn't you say?

Horse A has a dump and a peee in the mounting yard, saw it happen hundreds of times.

Which horse has a weight advantage now?

Weight is highly overrated by itself, better to study which horses can or cannot carry weight over distance.

Good luck
