I am going to start performing an impost study as it pertains to the sex of the horse. As things currently stand, all horses regardless of age or sex run with the same weight, usually 125.
I'm going to run test races with identical horses, except for the sex, and see if the ladies are being treated unfairly. I am going to run a series of races with all the horses carrying 125 lbs. If there is a disparity, I will start adjusting the ladies weights down until they run the same as the gents. As soon as I have completed my study, I will post the results and any recommendations for LOC3.
If any of you would like to perform some tests, feel free. Just make sure that the horses are identical except for the sex. The first rule of good science is to only change 1 variable.
