Imagine you've backed a horse to win at good odds, but before the race an upbeat press or trainer's comment is released. Soon, everyone else wants to bet on them too, so the odds are shortening. Cashing out lets you lock in a profit right there without waiting for the final result. You're essentially placing an opposite bet that covers all outcomes, creating a situation where you win money no matter what happens next.

Who pays for a jockey to travel to another track to ride a horse

by Jeff R
(Indianapolis)

Beholder ridden by Gary Stevens wins the Breeders' Cup Distaff at Santa Anita

That's it. A jockey who normally rides at a New York track for instance, rides in a stakes race in California.

Who pays for his travel?

Answer: Jockey travel & business expenses (including hotel, and if needed, car & other expenses) are handled by their agent.

They are paid either by the owners or by arrangement with the trainer (who then bills the owner).

Sometimes if the owner has a private jet, the jockey will travel that way.

Data supplied by my good friend Laurie Ross of www.ironmaidensthoroughbreds.com/

In the UK jockeys receive from the horse's trainer a travel allowance of 22.5p per mile when using their own car.

If using public transport they receive 50% of the cost.
