Hals und Bein

55 kilograms. That is the upper limit of the weight jockeys are allowed to carry in a race. Most weigh even less than that. They usually only know their horse for a few minutes, but they are expected to lead it to victory and make its owner proud and rich. Every race also means: mortal danger. "It's not a question of whether you fall, but when" – a common saying in the jockey scene, which top jockey Tommaso Scardino knows only too well. The film crew accompanies him as he trains in preparation for the season.
