Answer 2

Some jockeys are employed on what is called a retainer.  That is where a jockey is employed by a particular stable or owner to ride their horses as a priority.  For example Frankie Dettori is the retainer for Godolphin.

Other jockeys are paid a flat fee for every ride they have (it is about £110 per horse in Great Britain) regardless of where the horse finishes.  On top of that they will earn a percentage of the winnings if the horse finishes in the prize money.

Answer 3

That depends on how many races they win.
