Depends on what they race. Most sprinters weight no more then a thousand pounds to 1500 pounds because they want a fast, light horse with quick acceleration since the break is the most important part of the race. They are also usually smaller horses at about 15 to 15 and half hands because they need to be easier to maneuver in a short time. Long distance runners are about 1500 to 2000 pounds so they have the lung capacity to go further. They also don't need such a fast acceleration out of the gate because they don't open up till the end. They are usually about 15 and half hands or taller so they have a longer stride. Now their are exceptions to this rule like John Henry who was only 15 hands and could beet the best of the best bigger horses at the long distance game.

He/she isn't, the horse is. The handicapper looks at the previous form (results) for all horses in the race and decides what weight each horse ought to carry to, in theory, make the race a dead-heat. The jockey and tack (saddle etc.) are weighed and anything below the handicap weight given to the individual horse is added as weights, into the weight cloth. Jockey and tack are weighed again after the race to check the weight, allowing a little for sweating of the jockey.
