Just got back from a few days away, haven't really caught up with the board. But it seems to me the easiest way to balance competition (parity?) without having all the problems handicaps bring (racing secretaries not doing their jobs, like the one who told us he didn't want his weights to determine the winner of a race), is to have the horses weight themselves. Use a well thought out system of allowance conditions and make it uniform, so trainers can't go running away to run someplace else-- they would carry the same weight both places.
A job for the NTRA?
