How much does the winning jockey get in the preakness?
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.
How much will Calvin Borel make for winning the Kentucky Derby?
Depends on who the "you" is. The time-honored tradition in racing is that the owner of the winning horse (of any race, not just the Derby) recieves 60% of the total purse. So: the Derby is a $2.1 million race. The winning owner recieves $1.26M. But (s)he then "stakes out" (racing term basically for tipping) 10% of that to the trainer and 10% to the jockey, thus each recieves $126,000 for their respective contributions to the victory.
What is the selection process of horses in the triple crown?
The selection of horses to run in the Triple Crown begins with horses meeting what are called "race conditions" for the Kentucky Derby; conditions stipulate the age, gender and past performance requirements each horse must meet to enter a given race. The Kentucky Derby is written for 2 year-olds, fillies and colts, [here it says something like "...non-winners of x number of races..." and/or "winners of x number..."] The winner of the Kentucky Derby gets to run in the Preakness, and the winner of the Preakness gets to run in the Belmont. So the "selection process" begins with being eligible to run the Derby.
What does the winner of Il Palio di Siena receive?
