  • Harry Angel Flying High Among Star Cast for Sprint
    A dazzling cast is set to line up for the seventh QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot on 21st October after the latest forfeit stage. Britain’s richest raceday, with £4.3 million of prize money on offer, remains the target for 35 Group 1 winners who between them have won 67 races at the highest level. They include headline acts such as Ribchester, Cracksman, Harry Angel, Order of St George, Churchill, The Tin Man, Barney Roy and Big Orange. Others still in the mix for the spectacular finale, which features four Group 1 races, a Group 2 and the richest mile handicap in Europe, are Caravaggio, Winter and Beat The Bank. HARRY ANGEL FLYING HIGH AMONG STAR CAST FOR SPRINT QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes (£600,000) Group 1 (Please quote the QIPCO British Champions Series if using any quotes) Harry Angel, currently rated the best sprinter in the world on official ratings, heads a superb cast of 25 still in the mix for the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes. Four other speedsters with Group 1 wins to their name – Caravaggio, The Tin Man (winner of the race last year), Quiet Reflection and Limato – are also still engaged. Clive Cox is delighted with the well-being of Harry Angel who is no bigger than 6-4 in the ante-post betting to extend his winning sequence on QIPCO British Champions Day having landed the Darley July Cup at Newmarket before following up with a stunning four-length success in the 32Red Sprint Cup at Haydock last time. “He’s come out of the Haydock race absolutely super and I’m very pleased with him,” Cox said.

  • Contracts and Bonuses in the Sport of Kings – New Evidence on Jockeys’ Pay and Performance
    Contracts and Bonuses in the Sport of Kings – New Evidence on Jockeys’ Pay and Performance David Butler, Department of Economics, University College Cork, Ireland Robert Butler, Department of Economics, University College Cork, Ireland* Robert Simmons, Lancaster University, United Kingdom * Corresponding author. Email [email protected] Telephone +353 21 490 2434. ABSTRACT A considerable body of evidence exists to show that performance-related pay schemes can raise worker productivity with much of this increase due to worker sorting. However, variations in the power of performance-related pay contracts are rarely observed. The thoroughbred horse racing industry offers such an opportunity. Elite jockeys are paid an annual salary (retainer) as well as receiving a riding fee and share of prize money earned in races. Contrary to earlier research, we find no evidence of worker shirking when the power of incentive contracts is reduced through switching into retainer contract. We find a positive relationship between jockey pay and performance in this industry, with jockeys delivering greater prize money for owners and themselves. Moreover, retainer contracts result in legacy effects with superior performance continuing for elite jockeys even after their retainer agreements have expired. We argue this is due to a reduction in monitoring costs and enhanced opportunities for previously retained jockeys to ride successfully for large-scale racehorse owners. This all points to successful selection and monitoring by horse race owners, their executives and trainers. Our results are significant for employers and employees working under performance-related pay schemes. Word Count: 8,594 Keywords: Contracts, incentives, horse racing.
