CHELTENHAM Festival is the biggest week of the racing year, with billionaire owners, millionaire trainers and giant purses. But to find the jockey who's earned the most money, you need to travel far, far away from Prestbury Park, to the other side of the world. 2 The richest jockey in the world could very likely be one you have never heard of And yet, despite winning a minimum of £592million throughout his career, there's a good chance you've never heard of the biggest winner.

Meet Yutaka Take, the world's richest jockey.

A legend in Japan, Take, 52, enjoys 'God' status in his homeland and has a film star wife. His face is plastered on posters at racecourses, he's been the 'pin-up' of racing for years and enjoys the same level of fame as pop stars. He's like the Frankie Dettori on the other side of the world - only much richer.

OLBG compiled a list of the 50 richest jockeys.

And while the Racing Post estimate Take's earnings to be nearer the £650m mark, to be honest, OLBG's figure is mind-boggling enough. With more than 4,000 wins to his name, they reckon Take is far and away the richest jockey in the world. By way of comparison Dettori - who owns a 'frightening' Ferrari and plush mansion - does not even crack the top 30, according to OLBG. Of course part of the reason both jockeys have been able to win so much is because their careers have gone on so long. Dettori turned 51 in December and remains in peak physical shape, like Take.

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS WON

Both have lost none of their horsemanship despite being in some cases double the age of their rivals. And both still get picked for the big races because they deliver the goods. Money stopped meaning much to these riders a long time ago, but even so it's interesting to see how lucrative races in Japan are. OLBG's top five features four jockeys who race there, with Norohiro Yokoyama second on the list with £417m in winnings.

All you need for Cheltenham Festival 2022

It is not until you get to John Valezquez, a Puerto Rican-born superstar who races in America, in fifth that you see a jockey outside of Asia. Velazquez, according to OLBG, made £321m from his 6,258 wins at the time of the study. Mega money - but you might be wondering why these jockeys don't crack any sports rich lists apart from their own. Well, jockeys only keep a portion - normally around ten per cent - of the winnings. The rest is split between the trainer and owners, with jockeys also making cash from rider fees and retainers.

CUT OF THE CASH

It's not all glitz and glamour though.

Jockeys know they are in for a lifetime of dieting, sweatsuits and danger in every race. Explaining his incredible longevity, Take, who has been a jockey for more than 30 years, said: "My first thing is just enjoyment, enjoy my career being a jockey. "I am so fortunate that I don’t have to struggle with the weight or anything. Those are two things. "The third one would be less stress. I try not to have stress from a relationship or whatever it might be. "I do training and conditioning almost every day. Whenever I have no races, I go to the gym."

With commitment like that, you could say he's been worth every penny.
