Awful weight, lousy barrier for Mufhasa

By Michael Guerin 5:30 AM Thursday Jan 19, 2012

Trainer Stephen McKee will wait until this morning before deciding whether Mufhasa attempts a modern-day weight carrying record in Saturday's $300,000 Telegraph at Trentham.

Mufhasa has been allocated a staggering 61kg for the group one sprint and to make matters worse he has drawn barrier 16.


* * *

I can't find the barrier draw but I DID look up how many pounds 61 kg is.

What should they do, ed?

He's out.

I think they did the right thing for the horse. That was a huge weight - the highest in this race in more than 20 years. There'll be other races for him.

The G1 Waikato Sprint next month (which he also won in 2009 and 2011) is weight-for-age, so he won't have such a huge disadvantage in weight.

I do like Durham Town now.

I am SO happy he's out... the right decision.

Good luck to all my usual favorites haha or which The Hombre is the only one I can see having a shot as well. (Unless Vonusti feels like it which I guess isn't likely).

How are the odds on Ego?

Good luck with Durham Town!
