Set Weight for the Two-Year-Olds

N.6.W. EXPERIMENT NO HANDICAPS UNTIL NOVEMBER 23 Clubs in the New South Wales metropolitan area have agreed, after consultation, to try a new scheme so tar as the early two-year-old races are concerned In past years the piactice has been to handicap the alt races after those .fAV sprms ' meeting, with the lesult that horses who showed up well at Randwick, even though they may not have won, paid the penalty with inci eased handicaps. Until November, 23 two-vear-old races on metropolitan and provincial courses will bo run at special weights es s'n 1 C A7 8 - 5 ’ Settlings 5.3, and It ™ S '°’ b l‘ t H le Penalty clauses vary, h-e wfA? Park the winner of any altv" y thiV hoi raC ® carries a 71b pentwo’vvins belns: lnci 'eased to lulb for At Randwick the winner of the Breeders’ Plate or the Gimcrack raco e iO?b 1116 d I*lb 1 * lb extra > or any other for two or more 141 b. These conditions also apply so far as the Moorefleld Club is concerned. J n S tlons ior Beilin provide the D n i!| b • Penaity lor the winners of the Randwick classics, 71b for any other race, and 101 b for two or more, and the variation ly , Park 9 lub makes a further variation by stipulating- that the W O -year " 0l d race shall cairy 101 b extra, with a 141 b nenaltv for two or more.

of l i ba r lonS been felt that the system of handicapping two-year-olds in the early part of the season is to the of those who first show pace and a matter of guess work so far as the remainder are concerned. The handmappers will undoubtedly welcome tho set weights, for they have no ihey 1 hav a e b ° U h V’* untU tney ha\ e had an opportunity of foxmmg some estimate of their can-.
