Article Written by Trotter1.<\/EM><\/P>

The Jockey Club publishes the Experimental Free Handicap annually in the month of January since 1935. It is compiled for a hypothetical race for two-year-olds at 1 1\/16 miles on dirt. <\/P>

While the SIM rankings are the official Stakes qualifiers and criteria by which we measure the top runners for age and distance in this game, I thought I would introduce a different perspective based on real life features as the focus turns toward the Triple Crown races. Each horse has been checked to the criteria listed below, and a point system was used to determine the Experimental Weights. <\/P>

To be eligible for weighting, a two-year-old must have finished in the top four in a graded stake<\/B> or other unrestricted race with an added value of at least $75,000<\/B> run in the SIM<\/P>
