Winning jockeys also get a slice of the prize money on top, which is expected to be approximately 8–8.5% for a winning ride or 4-5% for a placed finish. That means that if the winner's share of the purse was $100,000, the jockey would receive $4,000-$5,000. Jockeys usually make between $0 and $150,000 in winnings, depending on how many horses they ride and how well they do. But some jockeys can make as much as $250,000 or more; others make less than $100,000 over the course of a year. A jockey needs to win or place in all six races to earn a living. If he or she finishes outside the top two spots in each race, they will only earn a part-time living. Some jockeys who are good enough to land regular mounts but lack the necessary talent to win often provide their services to other riders as "sweepers," helping them out by taking positions ahead of them in the lineup. This allows these less-than-perfect jockeys to work more races without being passed over entirely. There are several ways for a jockey to make extra cash beyond their main job.
