Does Weight and the Gallop Out matter when handicapping? If so how much?

The Twitter account @HorseRace2Day Horse Racing Today posed some interesting questions on the social media platform this week. They asked what are the most underrated and overrated handicapping angles out there. The responses were interesting and we all can learn from each other and who knows where the next edge or score can come from?\\xa0

Two topics that got a lot of attention were weight and the gallop out. Frankly we were surprised at the amount of handicappers who place little or no importance on these two aspects of the game.

We discuss the importance of each and what might be gained by paying attention to them. We may not sway you but Michael Vale grills Pick 6 King Jonathan Stettin on what he looks for in a gallop out and why weight matters, a lot.\\xa0

Thanks for listening to this episode of Past the Wire's podcast Gate to Wire!
