Handicap (Class 6

THE PHOENIX UTILITIES LTD HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile four furlongs handicap race for four-yearolds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60. 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 60 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 55.
