Size of a horse

Another probably stupid question on my part, but is there any source for finding the size of a runner, especially how tall a horse is?

I ask because a few times now I've picked out a horse based on form, only to find out when watching the race that I've picked some tiny little thing that struggles to get over the fences that bigger horses sail over.
Does weight generally correlate to height? I would have thought not, but I'm happy to be corrected! ;)
