How much is 113lbs in Kilograms?What is weighed in with a jockey?

Question

I am Trying to figure out how much i would weigh if i added the stuff that is added to a jockey's weight. i know that the saddle, silks, and boots are weighed too but i would like to know what else goes along with all that and how much all that weighs without the jockey's weight. I am trying to work my way to becoming a jockey and i need all the info i can get. Thanks to anyone who will attempt this question!!!!!!

Answer 1

The jockey is weighed with his saddle and all his clothing, though not his hat or whip.  

Do remember that racing saddles come in many different sizes - most jockeys have 3 saddles: a lightweight one that weighs only a few lbs for when they have to do a very low weight, a medium sized saddle for everyday use and a larger saddle for doing the heavier weights.  The saddle worn by a horse in a race is owned by the jockey and NOT the owner/trainer of the horse.

113lbs = 9stone 4lbs or 51.36kg

Answer 2

I've read that to join a jockey school here in australia to become a jockey you must weight under 50 kilograms, preferrably 48 kilograms. This is so you can ride the light weighted horses in a race. I've been checking out a few sites as I myself hope to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a jockey. Good luck with your journey on reaching your goal.

Answer 3

113 Pounds = 51.25594 Kilograms

All the jockeys apparel and saddles and stuff are very lightweight but unfortunately I don't know exactly how much they weigh.  Sorry.
