Make Weight. Stay Safe. Win Races.
Every jockey knows the pressure: weigh-in is non-negotiable, and racing authorities don't compromise on weight requirements. The EW Saddlery Lightweight Racing Girth is engineered specifically to help you meet mandated weight limits without sacrificing the security and safety standards required by racing commissions.

Critical Ounces That Count Toward Weigh-In: When you're struggling to make the assigned weight for a mount, every piece of tack matters.
