Default Jockey's pay, interesting info

I asked someone who I knew would not BS me (wife of a jockey) how much he gets paid. It works this way - If he wins he gets 10% of 60% of the purse. This is what blew me away, at Beulah second on back - $45. For every Jockey. What kind of expenses do Jockeys have besides the obvious, meaning rent etc.. What kind of expenses in relation to their job?
