NYRA Spotlight - Clerk of Scales

In the jockeys room, the Clerk of Scales and the Assistant Clerk of Scales are the stage managers of daily racing, making sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish. They are responsible for the accuracy of the riding assignments, weight assignments, and silks for each race, as well as keeping the riders on their fast-paced schedule to make sure the races go off at the correct time. Record-keeping, monitoring the health of the jockeys and communicating with other racing departments all figure into their job description as well.

Thank you for video, I learned a lot by watching it! I didn't realize all of things that the Clerk of Scales did in the Jockeys' Room.
