Default Is weight a real factor?

3kg of weight on a 600kg beast is the equivalent of Usain Bolt carrying 400grams extra (assuming he's about 80kg, I haven't googled it!! lol).

Surely there are a dozen other factors that would have more effect on the outcome of a horse race other than weight including fitness and the horses optimum racing weight. For mine, it just seems so trivial.
