DAILY NEWS 2000 (Grade 1) FINAL FIELD

Question to the fundi's out there, please remind me ..... would See It Again get a penalty if he wins the Daily News, considering he is already a Group 1 winner against his own age/sex?

The most weight See It Again can carry is 57kgs in the July and that what he is set to carry. Even if his merit rating goes up after winning or placing in the Daily News 2000 his weight in the July cannot go up unless all the horses with weights above him get scratched and raise the weights proportionally.

Ah yes, 3 yr old conditions. Ok great - thanks very much Naresh.

Cheers
