Almost a perfect argument except there arew always exceptions.
Only examples I remember were Forest Boy and Prize Lad back when The Professor used to ride for Armanasco.
These horses won plenty of races carrying over 60 kilos.
64 even.
So most can't but some can.Suggest there are many who struggle with 52 kilos or more! |
