How much does a jockey get paid to ride a horse. The jockey agent is responsible for finding the horses that a jockey will ride in a race. The lowest fee for an agent is 10 of a jockeys total earnings. So if a jockey makes 50000 per year the agent will make 5000.
As you can see the basic fees of NH 17359 and Flat 12714 for a single ride end up with the jockey coming away with the net earnings of 7021 and 3179 before tax. If you thought a jockey earned megabucks to ride some of your favourite horses to follow then think again. Unless you are a Ryan Moore or Frankie Dettori chances are you wont be a top paid jockey.
In other words a jockey has already said goodbye to around a quarter of their riding fees immediately. The average jump jockey takes 215 rides a year. If they receive three-quarters of each riding fee that puts the average gross annual income from riding fees at 26500.
The average Flat jockey meanwhile has 300 rides a year. Jockeys earn money in a variety of ways but that does not include gambling on horse racing which they are banned from doing. How Much Do Jockeys Get Paid Per Ride.
As of 2020 professional jockeys get paid 12714 per ride in the United Kingdom with jumps jockeys getting paid 17359. How much a jockey earns depends on the purse for a race and on their order of finish. The purse in horse racing is the cash prize won by the owner.
At the Hastings Park racetrack in Vancouver British Columbia a jockey placing first will earn 10 of the purse for that race. Jockeys may earn money from mount fees percentage of winnings and by galloping horses in the mornings. In Canada and the US Thoroughbred jockeys are paid a mount fee for each horse.
The mount fee varies by track and state. Very few jockeys make the run for the roses but the United States has more than 50 race tracks and there are even more internationally. Pay can be as little as 28 per race and as much as 124000.
The jockey who rides their horse to victory gets a 10 cut of the prize money. But they wont take home the full 186000 themselves. Theres a 25 fee to his agent as well as a traditional 5 tip.
Most commonly a jockey receives a mount fee for agreeing to ride a horse in a race and then will get part of the purse money usually 10 the winners share for winning the race. Jockeys will then pay their agents from their winnings and mount fees usually up to 25. Racing NSW gave the green light over the weekend to lift the standard riding fee to 200 up from 187 in a boost to the states licensed jockeys.

Professional jockeys at the start of their career are licenced as either Apprentice jockeys in Flat racing or Conditional jockeys in Jump racing. When they get their licence both Apprentices and Conditionals can make a 7lb claim. This is a weight allowance designed to provide an advantage to their horse in return for the potential disadvantage of having a relatively inexperienced jockey.
