jockey
Rides for purses
A jockey is a professional rider in horse races—typically small and light to minimize the burden on the horse.
The word extends to anyone who operates or maneuvers something: a disc jockey plays records, a desk jockey works at a desk.
To jockey is to maneuver for advantage: candidates jockeying for position.
Jockey shorts are close-fitting men's underwear, from the brand name.
