The weights should be 126 all with the filly getting whatever the Jockey Club calls
for "distaffers" to carry v males at this time of year, be it three or five pounds.
This will be this filly's sternest test, and no matter how dominant she has been
versus her gender or how impressive her performance figures have been, the weight
allowance for females is part of the grand racing tradition; the days of Chivalry
are far from passed.
As to Social Inclusion, this guy has a certain appeal to those on this board and in
other places where normally reasonable handicappers and horseplayers seem to always
fall in love with the fastest winter 3YO at GP. I see him at 4/1, brilliantly fast
and woefully misprepared, having a rough time in the crowded paddock on a hot day
down at the Shore, an off the board performance and 10 months of excuses going into
whatever BC race his connections will inevitably run him in.
