Smallest Jockey
I saw this post over on PA (I'm not a member of that board but occasionally read it) and thought I'd post about it here. The original poster said the smallest jockey he ever saw was Richard Privatera and I'd have to agree with him. Priv is the exercise rider for my filly and I know him well. Here are a couple photos of Priv, let me know if you've seen a smaller jock than him:
![]() ![]() Priv doesn't talk a lot about his riding days, he takes pride now in keeping the horses in Steve Sherman's barn fit and ready to run. Priv figured out what was wrong with my filly and taught her to pass horses... I thought she was going to finish second to last for the rest of her career - but we got 2nd yesterday! I think the light switch finally got turned on in her head! |
William Klinke was pretty small. Not sure if he was smaller, but similar.
|
Congrats on the 2nd! Is that her? She has great ears (and is very pretty)!

Willie Grey at the old Waterford Park , full on midget.

I tried to find a photo of William Klinke but couldn't, anyone see one on the net? I was talking about the PA post with Priv yesterday, he was amazed anyone remembered him - he doesn't realize that he is unforgettable! I absolutely love the guy. |
Whiplash. 6lbs of pure badass

I have no idea how tall he actually is, but Eddie Perez always looks super tiny here in Chicago.
|
I've always wondered.
If you put a brain in a jockey, would they no longer be able to make weight? |
Jorge Chavez is the smallest i ever saw .
|
I second the motion on Klinke, nickname was the colonel

I was expecting someone to start a Smallest Handicapper thread and post a pic of BTW.

You won't see my pic appear until a thread is started titled 'Worlds Prettiest Handicapper' |
If i remember correctly...Robert Woodhouse was pretty small....maybe Andy might know.
|
Richard Privatera actually wanted to fight me one time while he was riding in NY. Seriously.
|
I wonder while given a leg up if he's ever been completely thrown over a horse
