RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds only which have been rated from 51 to 70.

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 70 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 65.
