Guys I'd day one or two, maybe 3-5 in a good year.
Just take 10% of their mounts earnings(its a very good rough estimate) and then deduct 25% of that. The agents are employees of the jocks and thats the usual cut.
So a jock has to have his mounts earn about 13.5 million to clear a mill(1, 350,000 dollars million minus 307,500 dollars to agent).

You guys are way off, maybe 4-5 riders will make that this year.

I would think its higher than 5. Big purses like Breeders and Dubai influence this.

Randall that money earned is factored into the jocks earnings.
Its a simple formula, 10% of mounts earnings, minus 25% to agent.
So basically just take 7.5 % of what they earn Randall. Its all in the DRF under rider stats. But you guys always forget about the agents 25%.
Its simple.
Jock whose mounts earn 10 mill, hes making 750 grand. one mill minus the agents cut.
