A person of shorter/smaller stature is preferred because you want the horse to carry the least weight possible when it's racing.

If a guy was over 6 feet tall it would look too funnt has their feet would probably be near the ground due to the weight of the person.

Before each race, a jockey must weigh-in. if he wins the race, he is paid by his weight. so........the shorter, the better, the less weight, etc. if you believe this, i have a whale-catcher to sell you. sorry!
