The lead weights are put into the saddle pad in order to add weight to that of the jockey so they meet the impost set forth by the racing secretary. The impost is a weight assigned in handicapping races in an attempt to equalize the chances for all of the horses in the race. "Better" horses are assigned higher imposts.
