Do they weigh jockeys before and after a horse race?

Yes, jockeys are typically weighed before and after a horse race to ensure they meet the weight requirements set by racing regulations. The weight includes both the jockey and their equipment, such as saddles and other gear. This practice helps maintain fair competition and ensures that no weight advantages are gained during the race. If a jockey does not meet the required weight, they may be disqualified from the race.
