He/she isn't, the horse is. The handicapper looks at the previous form (results) for all horses in the race and decides what weight each horse ought to carry to, in theory, make the race a dead-heat.

Jockey and tack are weighed again after the race to check the weight, allowing a little for sweating of the jockey.
