However, as a general rule, flat jockeys get around 7% of the advertised win award and 3% of the advertised place prize. Jump jockeys get around 9% of the winnings and 4% of the placings. The PJA and the ROA discuss the riding charge each year. Usually, they are equal. In addition to their base salary, flat jockeys also receive bonuses for achieving certain goals such as many victories or high earnings per trip. These bonuses can be significant but are dependent on many factors such as how well the horse is doing and whether or not the rider has reached his or her bonus goal yet this year. Jump jockeys usually make more than flat jockeys because they are expected to ride more races and perform better in them. However, some owners prefer one type of jockey over another because they think it will make for an easier race track experience if they know what kind of jockey will be riding their horses.
