Plus they want another 5 % added to the 5 % they already get , and believe me they get more than 50$ to work for the track saddling horses , and they dont clean your saddle in between races .
Dont tell me what I know about something I saw everyday , your not in the room .

Previously, valets in New York were paid 5 percent of money earned at that specific meet, 2.5 percent for money earned out of town, and there was no cap. Valets, whose job is to take care of a rider's personal needs as well as saddle the horses, also receive a weekly salary from the New York Racing Association, their employers, ranging from $250 to $325 a week.

Before you get on your high horse, I suggest you read the story which clearly states what the valets get from NYRA.
