I take it that you will be sporting extra padding then Ivan...something along the lines of a sumo suit?

Eh?
Thought the whole point of being a point-to-point jockey was to lose a bit of weight?

I'll do without the extra padding. Besides, you're only allowed the Jockey Club-approved SATRA body protector in race riding, anyway

Well, minimum riding weight in point-to-point is 11 stone. I'm 10.5 stone stripped. Add riding kit, i.e. silks, race breeches, body protector (only weighs 1lb), race boots, - that probably takes me just over the 11st mark. Then add the racing saddle, weight cloth, number cloth, breastplate and girths....
If I can get this all as near as possible to 11st total, I should be doing OK.

Height shouldn't matter, but most jump jockeys seem to be between 5ft 6in and 5ft 10in.
I'm 5ft 7in.
32in waist (which should be 30in, but when you spend your professional life sitting in front of a PC, standards tend to slip) so not really that slim....
