Definitely MO
Two different scales.
At time NYRA was using analog scales......they have gone digital now I understand.
Additionally, on the weigh out the protective equipment is not removed (helmut, flak jacket).
Add the track dust or dirt or mud and perhaps even sweat from the horse picked up from the leggings. Maybe high humidity too.
Spitzer better have a magic bullet or it could be trouble.
As far as all jockeys going overweight.thats probably true...did they? Just because they are not listed in the indictment who is to say there were others that were not consistently overweight, even if not over five pounds overweight.
