Greatest horse racing career winnings - jockeys

The greatest amount of winnings in a horse racing career won by a jockey is  $236 million (£148 million) by Christopher McCarron (USA) (b. March 27, 1955) from 1974 to April 2000. McCarron has said that his Kentucky Derby win on Alysheba was a career highlight. He was the regular rider for both John Henry and for Alysheba during the years they set earnings records.  Major races won by McCarron include Kentucky Derbys with Alysheba and Go for Gin, three Breeders' Cup Classics with Alysheba, Sunday Silence, and Alphabet Soup, and two Preakness Stakes. In 1994 McCarron posted his 6,000th win at Hollywood Park.
