How Jockeys Earn Money. The average jockey may earn between $30 and $100 per race, depending on the track. A jockey may ride in several races in an afternoon. If he wins, he may receive around 10 percent of the ownerâs winnings, which is usually 60 percent of the purse, although the percentage may vary by locale.
The variety of the strawberry plant determines its lifespan, although a properly cared for plant can produce for up to three or four years. June-bearing varieties require annual rejuvenation to remain productive for more than one season.
Those runners often root themselves nearby yet remain attached to the mother plant. These types of strawberries produce more fruit if you clip off most of the runners, allowing each plant to produce no more than 3 daughter plants each summer. (Some varieties of strawberries produce few to no runners.)
