this is the scale used by topspeed

 

 

At 5f 1 length = 3.6lbs

6f 1 length = 3.0lbs

7f 1 length = 2.6lbs

8f 1length = 2.3 lbs

9/10f 1 length = 2.0 lbs

11/12f 1 length = 1.6 lbs

13/14f 1 length = 1.4 lbs

15/16f 1 length = 1.2 lbs

17/18f 1 length = 1.1 lbs

 

picking out the 8f & 12f values for a length

 

8f = 2.3lb

12f = 1.6lbs

 

if the 8f horse is 1 length shy of maturity he still has to improve the same ratio as the 12f horse who is 1 length shy of maturity..so in speed figure terms they are both disadvantaged the same..so achieving standard for both horses requires the same proportional improvement..so if both hit standard they are the same speed figure..not 5lb different


5 + 3 = ?
