How Many Jocks Make a Mil?

[randallscott35]

How many would you guess pull down a million or more in a year?

I would bet a bunch of those little guys pockets are fat!

5 or 6 max...I would guess. Prado,Gomez,JJ Velasquez,PVal, maybe a couple more!

It's really not that much when you consider how much the top 1% of any billion dollar industry make. Factor in the risks, and they aren't paid enough.

Very true and consider the low end guys are making peanuts and are on horses that are more likely to break down.

Don't forget the Jock's agent he has to get paid too that in itself will keep several of the jocks from earning 1 million this year

That $80-100 number depends on the track as well. I'd guess it's actually lower in some places, perhaps higher in others.

Definetely add JJ Castellano to this list. He rides Bernardini and Pine Island. Enough said. Thats potentially half a million right there.

What(or who) is the clerk of sales??

You thinks there's that many?? What do they get, 80-100 bucks a race plus 10% of winnings....that's a lot of riding!

$80-$100 thats it, man that seems really risky to ride a 1500lb animal, 40mph

I would say 25. In the U.S. alone.
