Allowances and Penalties

Hi
UK racing is based very much on the handicap system (weights). Can you add a jockey claim, ie an apprentice might take off say 7lbs from the ‘official weight’. Or a horse that won a few days ago might get an extra 6lbs to add to their weight. This info is invaluable. Can Allowances and Penalties be added to the API?
Thanks

Hi Alex
Regarding the penalties and allowances, is that something you think you’ll be able to add to the API?

Hi
For allowances: on 13/10/21 in the 14:05 at Nottingham the jockey Harry Burns has a 5lb allowance off the horse Manshoodah. So the weight was 9-0 - 5lbs (the horse will actually carry 8-9).
For penalties: on 13/10/21 in the 15:50 at Nottingham the horse Josies Kid was due to carry 9-4 but will carry an extra 6lb (9-4 + 6lbs = 9-10).
Kind Regards
Owen
