Actually, they seem a bit low for a highweight handicap. In a regular handicap, the handicapper is supposed to start at 126 (wfa for 4 and up) for the best horse and subtract pounds for each of the lesser animals, depending on how much worse than the topweight they are. In a highweight handicap, the starting point is supposed to be 140 lbs. Were there horses nominated who were 6 lbs. (what is that, what? 2 lengths?) better than Sir Greeley? But it is nice to see a significant range of weights for horses with a significant range of accomplishments.
