Question

What do horse jockeys make in wages ?

Answer 1

They usually get a mount fee, which is not too much (like $75, as I said, not too much), and 10% of purse money their horse earns.

Answer 2

in new zealand they are paid to do trackwork, they get paid 5% of the stake earnings on race day plus the owner may sling another 5% if the money is high, it varies from country to country, also apprentice jockeys pay 50% of earnings to their bosses until their time is up normally 4-5 yrs.
