BETTER THAN TURKISH BATH
THE extreme heat on Saturday, * January 14, caused almost record weight reduction* among jockeys at Warwick Farm. After the last race Maurice McCarten, the former New Zealand jockey, found he weighed 7.12 instead of his normal 8.4.

Bartle dropped from, his normal 7.12 to 7.5, his lowest weight since he was an apprentice fifteen years ago.
