What is the lead weight carried by a horse in racing called?
Good question! In certain races (usually called Handicap) a horse's previous wins are taken into consideration. A horse that has many wins will carry extra weight in special pockets on the saddle. This is to even the odds a little when running against greener horses or horses that don't have as many wins. If you have ever seen the movie Seabiscuit you will see on some of his races he carries little square weights in the saddle. It seems unfair but I guess it's not, just a way to level out the playing field a little.

If the jokey could weigh 126 pounds then what will be the weight for the horse?
You don't weigh the horse, only the jockey, because it is based on how much weight the horse is runnign with on his back. Unless the race is handicapped,, then all jockeys must be 126lbs., either naturally, or with added lead weights. 126 is a pretty standard weight. A healthy average size horse would be around 1100 to 1250 lbs. Because the horse canalready run with only his own body weight, that is not counted.
