Description

This paper discusses an analysis of earnings and career lengths for jockeys in thoroughbred horse racing and the application of the data found in equibase.com to personal injury and wrongful death cases. Jockey’s earnings are directly correlated to their winnings. This paper offers a reasonable approach to compute past and future lost earnings in case of lost ability to race. Tables show the maximum, average, median, the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and the 90th percentile of earnings before taxes and expenses.
