I could find no information on the exact amount Charles Howard paid his jockeys but they usually get a percentage of the purse. It differs depending on the contract between the owners and the individual jockeys. The average is %5 to %15 of the purse. At the time of his retirement Seabiscuit's earnings were almost 1/2 million dollars, which was an incredible amount of money for the time. This will give you an idea of what his riders earned.

What is the wage for a disc jockey?
Most disc jockeys make between $5,000 and $40,000. The exact amount depends on the type of disc jockey, the disc jockeys popularity, the location of the disc jockey, type of payment, and whether the disc jockey is a hobbyist. For instance, a mobile disc jockey may be paid $800 for one performance, but they may only perform twice a month. Meanwhile, a club disc jockey may be paid $10/hour but with a full time position, the club disc jockey would be making just as much as a mobile disc jockey without including tips. Also take into account that a mobile disc jockey has expenses that a club disc jockey doesn't and you'll see that the club disc jockey in my example actually make more that the mobile disc jockey.
