THE WELCOME TO RACINGTV CLUB MEMBERS HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile and two furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 66 to 85. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is. This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage.
