the weights which are assigned to their mounts. There are horse carrying weight limits, that are set by racing
authorities. The Kentucky Derby, for example, has a weight limit of 126 lb (57 kg) including the jockey's equipment.
The weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118 lb (49 to 54 kg). Despite their light weight, they must be able
to control a horse that is moving at 40 mph (64 km/h) and weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg). [citation needed] Though there is
no height limit for jockeys, they are usually fairly short due to the weight limits. Jockeys typically stand around 4
ft 10 in (147 cm) to 5 ft 6 in (168 cm). " (from Wikipedia) 081560565X #39292 $25
