Hurdlers carry more weight because it requires a bigger, stronger jockey to control them. The 164 pounds which Hirapour carried is a lot ... but ...
... America's greatest steeplechase horse ... Neji ... won twice while carrying 173 pounds, placed three times with 175, and won seven times carrying 161 to 168 pounds ... from 1954 through 1959.
