The jockey who rides the winning horse receives 6 percent of the "purse," or the prize in the race. The commission drops to 1 percent for the jockey whose horse places second and half a percent for the third-place finisher, Colton said.
Jockeys also receive a fee, called a jock mount, every time they race. Jock mounts are usually $35 to $50, depending on the purse size.
A successful jockey often participates in more than 1,000 races a year, riding several hundred different horses.
Most jockeys get between 5 and 15 per cent of the purse.A lot depends on the owner,and the contract he may draw up for his rider.Some may get an option up to 20 per cent in a grade one race like the Derby.
My friends mom dated a jocky and he was no where near rich. It really depends on past performance much like a Baseball player. It starts off low but if your good at what you do owners of other horses will try and pic you up at a better salary.

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.
