Hey, interesting questions... I have a full stable of 100 horses, I haven't gone through them all but I did most.... weights range from 431-505 although most I viewed was 460-480 (mainly due to my horses in stud).... weights will fall after a race cos of the sweat and condition it loses and then rise again as it gets fitter. One thing I find strange is the build doesn't match weight as my 431 horse is an average build, whereas your 435 is a small build.

The main plus for having a heavier/bigger horse is it should be stronger in a tussle... should be able to barge through a wall of horses easier, although ya could argue that smaller horses can get through smaller gaps easier.

As far as i am aware tho, weight isn't an important value, it is more of a graphical value. I could be wrong tho.
