Not at all. In recent years Milwaukee Brew won with 115 and Martial Law and others with 113...

Hell, Noor beat Citation (132) in 1950 carrying 110. And Stagehand toted 100 (!) in 1938 when he beat Seabiscuit (130).

I'm currently reading Dorothy Ours' Man O' War book and finished a book on Saratoga, it's crazy how low the weights were for the lesser horses!

Stagehand was a 3yo who looked so good winning the Santa Anita Derby that he was wheeled back a week later in the Big 'Cap. The age allowance for a 3yo racing against his elders in March at 10f is 22 lbs.
