Ferniegair Handicap (Class 5

THE BOOK OUR ON-SITE HOTEL FERNIEGAIR HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds only which have been rated from 56 to 75. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.
