Jockey money

One of my favorites things to do is just chill in my local Sportsbook and but on the horse races. Win some, loss some. Love it. Well, I wanted to post what a Jockey makes $$$, here ya go:

"Most Jockeys make a very small amount per-rideand 10 % of the prize money.ie; TODAYS KENTUCKY DERBY # 1 winner will get like $200,000 for the day .. coz the prize is like $2 Mbut for the derby ther are bonuses also and endorsement offers from advertisers. At regular races if you win - and the purse (win jackpot) is $40,000 the jockey gets $4,000If the 2nd place prize is $10,000 the jockey makes $1,000if 3 rd place is $2500 he/she gets $250.The others ..settle for like $100. per mount..or so.Jockeys can ride for as many trainers/owners as they can negotiate a deal with. some jockey ride a horse in 8 or 9 sometimes all of a ten ( 10 ) race day at the track.the more wins a jockey starts to get - the more he is noticed by trainers who wish too hire him and the higher he can demand a higher "guaranteed $$ fee for riding".."
