It is listed in their form in Hong Kong and Japan.

Long enough before to have it printed in their racing form. Probably two days before.

I was told by a DRF lady that it was always listed as "believed to be in foal" but I have NEVER SEEN IT.

Horse weight
I used to think knowing the horse's weight goian or loss between races might help, but it is spead out well over the horse. Many horses seem to have a carry weight limit but many never reach it in their races- I see some that do not do well when carrying over 121 lbs, others it may be higher.
On the other hand, maybe a bad rider is constantly pulling on the reins for balance or shifting his/her weight around too much around a turn and messes a horse up??

Yes you want to know if a horse lost 200 lbs since his last race. You want to know if that claimer who went from a cheap barn and is now running for a Big-Time barn has GAINED weight for his new barn -and vice versa.
I was able to ask Pat Day one time about the jockey weights vs weight added and he said it was slightly beneficial in a handicap race for the jockey to be a little bigger (less dead weight). It is a small thing to begin with, but even smaller now that today's handicapps are very light.

When Remington first opened, they listed the horse's weight in the program. For a while I tried to make it a usuable factor, but soon gave up, as did Remington.
