Question

How much money does the winning jockey earn in the Ketucky Derby?

Answer 1

10% of the winner's share of the purse, which is 60% of the two million dollar purse.

Translated:

10% of one million two hundred thousand dollars, or one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, subject to income taxes.

(Bear in mind, some races have larger purses, like the ones that have four million dollar purses in Dubai.  Jockeys would fly there for a shot of a bigger slice of the pie).

Answer 2

It depends on the retainer and contractual agreement between jockey and owner.  We'll know soon.  What a great jockey, what an amazing horse!

Answer 3

A part of the purse??
