Talk about a true handicap race

[pweizer]

Beulah Park today has carded a 2-mile event in Race 7. Now that is unusual enough, but weight is the kicker. In this marathon, weight allowances are given in huge spreads from $22,000 claiming prices down to $4,000. Count on My Word, the high weight in the field, will carry 147 pounds while entered for the highest level, spotting the rest of the field anywhere from 28 to 36 pounds.

For those who say the concept of a handicap is gone, this is a very interesting concept.
