"Jockeys must be light to ride at the weights which are assigned to their mounts. There are horse carrying weight limits, that are set by racing authorities. The Kentucky Derby, for example, has a weight limit of 126 lb (57 kg) including the jockey's equipment. The weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118 lb (49 to 54 kg). Despite their light weight, they must be able to control a horse that is moving at 40 mph (64 km/h) and weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg). [citation needed] Though there is no height limit for jockeys, they are usually fairly short due to the weight limits. Jockeys typically stand around 4 ft 10 in (147 cm) to 5 ft 6 in (168 cm).

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Four Oceans, Toby Davidson's second collection, confirms his reputation as one of the most expansive and radical voices in the emerging generation of Australian poets. The scale and scope of the works are deliberately ambitious, often testing the limits of what a single poem can reveal through multiple readings. This collection follows the poet's transitions from Western to Eastern Australia and overseas through finely-wrought, if occasionally feral, long verse sequences and experiments in form. Yet these are not escapist poems; they know 'escape cannot be a constant costume' and instead confront the ghosts of Australia's past. They look inward as well as out, forward as well as back, with a gritty resolve, empathy and wry humour. Four Oceans is a poetry collection which bears stark witness to the present moment and unsparingly asks how we got here.'Book-ended by two substantial sequences, with 'memory as a toy to tamper with (and how)', and great verbal ingenuity and humour, Four Oceans is a major achievement of one of our most talented younger poets.' - David Malouf Four Oceans Yet these are not escapist poems; they know 'escape cannot be a constant costume' and instead confront the ghosts of Australia's past. They look inward as well as out, forward as well as back, with a gritty resolve, empathy and wry humour. Four Oceans This item is printed on demand.
