Fall Highweight -- Interesting Notes

[SoCalMan2]

Just noticed that the Fall Highweight used to be open to 2 year olds (the inaugural running was won by a 2 y.o. filly named Comely).  Years ago I saw a race that was for 2 y.o. and up, and it was fascinating.  I think the NYRA should open up the Fall Highweight to 2 year olds again.  With the higher weights, a 2 y.o. filly could be spotted 8 lengths worth of weight and still be assigned a weight that a jockey could make.  It would also create some nice opportunities for those of us who believe weight matters.

Side Note -- the 1967 running of the Fall Highweight was won by Indulto (he was 4 at the time).
