Do you think this could cause some resentment among the jockey colony? The guy making more money for his riding fee, who also is currently riding a lot of winners, suddenly finds himself in tight during races.

Just a couple of thoughts of what might come from indiviuals setting their own fees.
You are giving them far too much credit. They probably deserve a raise and supposedly thy will all go to $60 "for now". Of course most of the current jocks will be riding in parts unknown in a few months so what difference does it make to them.
