And as to Chantal, I figure the side income from her other endeavors help to carry her financially when the number of rides or winners taper off.

if you are in the top 10, hell probably the top 15 jockeys on a major circuit you aren't missing any meals. i doubt you miss any meals regardless but they do well for themselves.
brice blanc made $459,440 for his connections at the hollywood park meet. He gets 10% of that so that's $45,944 if my math is not as bad as my spelling. Give 25% of that to his jock agent and he's left with $34458, give or take.. For 3 months worth of work. He's not even in the top 10.
lol you can see who is really benefiting from the purse increases.
