Do you realize that the jocks are really the ones that make all the money....

Owners are the last people that should step up on this

Straight was making $500 a day if he was riding 5 horses (he was riding between 3-5 a day) and that is just mount fees, that could be higher with him getting 1/2/3.....

That's $2500 a week, minus the 20% to his agent and 10%(?) to his valet, he is down to $1750 a week, which is still some good money.
