Mount fees?

[my miss storm cat]

I came across this in BH...

... and was pretty shocked at the amount(s).

Is this average? Lower than average?

Should there be some kind of uniform rate?

Completely typical fees. And jockey mount fees are already generally standardized on that scale.

Here's a chart from Lone Star as an example.

Not to sound like a moron here but I'm stunned.

I cannot believe they're this low.

A horse wins a 15k purse.. Horse wins 9k..900 to the jock is low? Your trainer get 900 if anything the trainer should get 1200 and the jock 600. You think its tough to ride a Juan Carlos lay over the field ex 20 claimer running in a 7500claimer race, juiced at 3/5?

Philly's rate are flat there, all races regardless of class its $200 for a losing mount, 1st is 10%, 2nd/3rd's are both 5%.

They take $20 from every starter also, $10 for some promotional fund and $10 for the retirement fund.

The owner would get $200 for finishing 6th through last but the jock gets something like $100 for a losing mount

Don't forget jock agents get a 25-to-30% cut per jockey they represent .. they have to deal with both jockeys and trainers though on a daily basis. Pity them.
