What role does the jockey play in a horse race?
The jockey has a major role to play in horse races, since their skills and decision-making can impact the result.

How To
Horse Racing Odds, Payouts & Payouts explained
To understand horse racing odds and payouts, first recognize that odds indicate the returns you will receive if your bet wins. Odds will usually be shown as decimals or fractions. A 5/1 is $5 for every dollar wagered plus the original stake. For a decimal of 6.00 odds, a bet of $1 would return a total of $6. To calculate the payouts multiply your stake (fractional, decimal) by the odds. Remember, lower odds means a horse will win more often, however, the payouts may be smaller. High odds can offer greater payouts for a less favorited horse.
