A jockey is a person who rides horses in , usually a small, light person because a lighter rider makes the horse faster. As a verb, "to jockey for position" means to push and compete for a better place or advantage, not literally on a horse — like "the two companies are jockeying for position in the market," meaning they're both trying hard to get ahead of each other.
騎師（賽馬）；（動詞）（為地位、優勢）競爭、角力
