I only noticed because I had Platinum Strip rated about 1/2 Kg better than Outfitter in Race 8 Pinjarra on 20th Jan. Outfitter won and paid about $15 and when I ran my figures again I found that they rated Outfitter about 1/2Kg better than Platinum Strip (who's still looking for the winning post). Turns out Platinum Strips rider carried 51Kg instead of the 50Kg stated at RSB. I thought they just hadn't caught up with her claim coming down but perhaps she just couldn't make the weight. Either way it was a $15 divvy I would otherwise have had - most frustrating. Of course we only notice these things when it costs us money, probably it works in our favour sometimes too but it's always best to seek perfection in the figures we use.

So my real question is.

When do we actually know what weight a rider is going to ride at?
