It often happens that a jockey is too light for the amount of weight which a horse has been set to carry ... it often happens that a "weight cloth" is carried. This is a felt cloth with leather pockets, which is placed on the horse's back under the saddle: flat pieces of lead, equivalent to the extra weight required, are put into the pockets of the cloth, and buckled in to prevent their being lost during the race. 3, record 1, English, - lead%20weight%20cloth
