Answer 1

It depends on the purse of the race. The purse is how much the horse gets for winning. Each track is different but the jockey, trainer, and owner split the purse by predetermined percentages. So, obviously to win big you have to ride the good horses in the big money races. However, every jockey has to start somewhere and it is usually at the bottom. I have seen some go right to the top, but you have to have talent and be willing to work.  

Answer 2

All depends on how many races they win, and the purses

he gets 10 percent of the money given to the owner,,
