Jockey's pay for the Kentucky Derby varies. The win, place and show riders get a percentage of whatever the owners winnings are. In the 2010 race the first place jockey grossed around $142,000. After his expenses are paid, that dropped to around $100,00, and that was before taxes were taken out.
If the jockey does not win, their pay goes down dramatically. Second place received around $20,000 and third place received around $10,000. Jockeys who did not place were paid much, much less than that.
