What is Turf Weight?

Turf weight refers to the weight of the turf material itself, calculated using the area, density, and thickness of the turf. In horse racing, "turf weight" also refers to the weight a horse is assigned to carry during a race, including the jockey, saddle, and any additional weights. This system helps level the playing field by assigning more weight to better-performing horses to make races more competitive.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{WT} = 50 \times 200 \times 0.05 = 500 \]

The weight of the turf is 500 kg.
