A brief interview with Oak Tree's clerk of scales wherin he describes and demonstrates the process of weighing in the jockeys before and after the races. http://www.tvg.com
In the UK you can ride from 16 years old and you really need to be no heavier than 8st 7lbs as initially apprentices claim 7lbs, then 5lbs, then 3lbs after a number of winners.
