What are jockeys win percentages?

supremenovice · 2011-07-19 19:29:35

Any idea what cut the jumps and flat jockeys get from prize money? Im thinking, for the big races, like the Grand National or Breeders Cup Classic, theyd be getting 8% so roughly €70,000 and €200,000 respectively. Would I be right?

10% of winnings.

I think its €110 for the ride or very close anyway.

National hunt that is, not sure if flat differs

Flat jockeys get less per ride than jump jockeys.

8% of the winnings go to the jockeys and a further 8 to the trainer.

I think it's up at €150 per ride now - at least that's what I heard recently. And then there's a bonus for riding a winner....

I can confirm jockeys get 9% of winnings, as do trainers. NH, no idea about flat, presume it's the same.
