Together Handicap (Class 6
THE GAMMA, WORKING SMARTER TOGETHER HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile and five furlongs handicap race for threeyear-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 55 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 50.
