Does any one know where this saying originated from? Presumably at Bogside racecourse,but why is the saying still used ?

I'm sorry, but I have never heard the expression.
Can you expand upon the circumstances in which the saying is used?

It is a saying that is used a lot amongst people who like a bet on horse racing.The strange thing is that at at a racecourse "weighed in " is said after every race to show that that the jockeys have carried the correct weight.
