Aby no means small percentage of tue incomes of Jockeys is obtained from riding in trials on the taining grounds, two guineas being the sum usually paid for tis work. It 1s of course impos- sible to Compute the revenue thus received, the re- ciplents, and perhaps the income-tax commission- ers, alone being im the secret. A similar remark applies to the extravagant sums not unfrequently lavished op riders who have proved successful 1a Such events a3 tue Derby, the St. Ledger, the City and Suburban, the Cesarewitch, or the Cambridge- shire, It 1s not unusual to put a jockey tn one ot tuese great gambling races on a “hundred to noth- in.” ofa “thousand to nothing,” as it 13 callea, meaning that without risk he will, if he wins, ri ceive the £100 or tue £1,000, as the case may be. This can hardly be regarded as other than an indl- rectsystem of bribery, as, although itissometimes given dy wealthy owners out of pure good nature, and 1s promised In anticipation of winning a large ‘stake of a coveted prize, itis more often than not intended as an inducement to the Jockey to “keep straight,” and as a means of making it impossible for olhers to tamper with him, Large sums are also paid annually by owners of important racing studs Co secure the “first call” on the services of notable performers in the saddie, and the more prominent receive retainers for “second call” and even “third call.” It will be seen that for a jockey of ability who can ride at a moderate weighi there 1s nothing Lo prevent the earning eet ofa ‘sum Of £4,000 20 £5,000 a year, when, as 13 often doue, to i the above are added a little horse dealing, a ittie betting, and in the case of the shady members of the order, a little Dusiness in the shape of selling intormation, it 18 quite possible for even tuls large sum to be exceeded.
