Do mares race faster than geldings?

Cathlo · 2011-05-17 10:27:18

I'm about to place a bet, 2:20 Brighton on Miss Firefly. I'm new to betting on horses, but I think this mare looks promising. What I'm really curious about is: Do mares on average race better or worse than geldings? Many Thanks, ;)

Mares are generally weaker and get a weight allowance in most conditions races.
