There has to be a chance that since 2yos are less mature - and therefore 6f requires more stamina for them than for a mature horse - the handicapper doesn't use 3lbs per length at 6f for juveniles. Maybe 2½lbs?

The handicapper also factors in ease of victory and the extent to which beaten horses were eased.
