You think a jockey is going to lower his height??? LOL i agree the hulkster is not 6'6 and andre the giant is not 7'5, but why would a jockey claim to be taller?? i've stood next to him, i'm 6'4" and he certainly wasnt anywhere in my atmosphere.

I should start a Tracy Hebert thread. Maybe it would motivate Steve to open a Who Gives A **** forum.

I was only pointing out that sometimes listed heights are inaccurate. I used to like Mike McCarthy and he was 6'8".

While it may well effect the weight, being tall for a jock could have it's benefits. IMO, upper body strength. Jamie brought a lot to the track at Oaklawn during the Fairgrounds rebuild. He continues to hone his craft.
