It depends. If it is a non-handicap race, you want to be as light as you can be. If it is a handicap race, however, it depends on how much weight the horse is supposed to carry. You want to be as close to that weight as possible. Like, if the horse is carrying 100 pounds and the tack weighs 5 pounds, you want to be 95 pounds or maybe a little bit less. the reason you want to be as close to the weight as possible is because they put dead weight to make up for the weight the jockey and saddle don't provide and it is easier for the horse to run with live weight (you) than dead weight (the weights that are put in the tack).
there is no specific weight but you wouldn't want to be very heavy but you should be well under 200 id say 150 is a good weight but lower is good.
This is wrong. To become a jockey the average weight is 100-108, in the Kentucky Derby the weight limit is 126 pounds with gear. The average weight without gear is 100-108, with gear is about 120ish.
A jockeys standerd weight is 108-118 pounds but the maximum weight assigned at the Kentucky Durbie is 126 pounds
There is no set weight or height limit for steeplechase jockeys, unlike their flat counterparts.

What is the wage for a disc jockey?
Most disc jockeys make between $5,000 and $40,000. The exact amount depends on the type of disc jockey, the disc jockeys popularity, the location of the disc jockey, type of payment, and whether the disc jockey is a hobbyist. For instance, a mobile disc jockey may be paid $800 for one performance, but they may only perform twice a month. Meanwhile, a club disc jockey may be paid $10/hour but with a full time position, the club disc jockey would be making just as much as a mobile disc jockey without including tips. Also take into account that a mobile disc jockey has expenses that a club disc jockey doesn't and you'll see that the club disc jockey in my example actually make more that the mobile disc jockey.
