RACE HORSE NEGOTIATION
                              Confidential Instructions
                                   Jockeys Agent

        You are an agent who represents jockeys in the thoroughbred racing
industry. One of your clients is Christo Lines, a British jockey who has been riding
races in America for the last three years. Yesterday, you received a call from the race
horse trainer for Calamite Stables, asking you to meet and discuss the possibility of
Christo riding the colt, Flashdance, in the Kentucky Derby. You know that the
Calamite Stables regular jockey suffered a shoulder separation four weeks ago, so
your guess is that the injury is not healing well. The Derby will run in three weeks,
and most top jockeys have committed to other mounts in the race.
        When you discussed the call with Christo, he was overjoyed. He has felt
rather discouraged about breaking into the successful ranks of American racing. He
has not been able to attract top horses or a steady barn, although he has done quite
well on the mounts he has ridden. If Christo can ride a horse like Flashdance,
already named two-year-old Race Horse of the Year, in a race like the Derby, it could
make his career. Christo knows he is getting on in years and he needs a break now
or it will be just too late.
        Christo is so desperate for this opportunity he has told you that he would be
willing to ride Flashdance in the Derby for free. He said, Its my last chance. Ill do it
for nothing if thats what it takes. You know that Christo is hurting for money,
however, and free rides dont do anything for your commissions, so you want to get
him the best deal you can. Usually, Christo gets $2,500 to $5,000 per race, but he did
get $10,000 to ride the Kentucky Oaks last year. The Kentucky Oaks is a top race for
three-year-old fillies with a purse of $1 million split among the top three finishers in
which the winner gets $600,000. The Kentucky Derby purse is $2 million and the
winning horse gets $1.4 million. So the money for riding the Derby should be higher
yet, or at least it would be for a real name jockey. You do know that a contract to
ride all three races in the Triple Crown  the Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont
 earned another jockey whom you represent $45,000 last year.
