They make about $50 per day from the track but that is to saddle the horses, not take care of the jock. A valet for a top jock works his ass off saddling every race, getting a clean pair of riding pants each race and doing the laundry during the races, cleaning the tack and attending to the riders needs often in about 20 minutes time, nine times or 10 times a day. Thats not even counting the time spent running the jocks bets...

Jocks get 10% of purses right? JV made 25 mil, Gomez 28 mil purse last year...
So if a top valet does Johnny V (2.5 million earned) and Gomez (2.8 mill) and say a lesser guy who makes 1 mil a year, the valet gets 5% of 6.3 million. $330,000 a year ...WTF are we doing as trainers Cannon????
