A good jockey can be a millionaire, as he is wanting by the owners to ride their horses at a premium fee. Many times we get the foreign jockey to ride one of the horses owned by the farm in one of the big races in India. This is a common feature.
But the biggest setback in this profession is accidents because of which the Jockeys can suffer small injuries to very big injuries. Some jockeys can even die in the accidents, Few jockeys in India died this year when the racing was on before the lock down.
This is the most unfortunate part of the profession. Because of this high risk activity in the lives of the jockeys, the lives are always insured.
So the profession of Jockey is very lucrative but it is with full of risk! What you say?
