Not saying it applies in this case.

However, there are times an apprentice can be entitled to a 10 or 7 pound allowance but choose to not claim the full amount at entry time.

Let's say a bug rider tacks 113 lbs.

A horse can get in at 110lbs with a 10lb allowance but that rider knows he or she can only do 113.

They don't have to claim the entire ten pounds at time of entry. They can claim only seven. Have the weight on the program read 113 and avoid an overweight being announced.

Trainers are not big fans of bug riders being announced as overweight no matter how light the situation is.
