about five pounds less than what he weighs in ordinary 

 clothes. 



If a jockey is in hard condition, he need allow nothing for 

 wasting during a race on a hot day, because the horse will 

 sweat as much into the saddle cloth or panel as the jockey 

 is likely to lose. 



The following is a safe rule to adopt for weighing out 

 before a race. Everything, including the bridle, being in the 

 scales, put half a pound on the opposite side, and if the jockey 

 can draw his weight with this extra half-pound he is quite 

 safe. 



Weighing before a race is called " weighing out," and after 

 a race it is termed " weighing in."
