On-Track Medical & Disability Program
Delaware Park provides the highest non-workmen’s comp on-track medical and disability coverage for jockeys in the United States. The coverage levels are at least double of all other race tracks in the United States, with the exception of the four states requiring workmen’s compensation (CA, MD, NJ, & NY). Temporary disability income provides 75% of current jockey racing income up to a maximum of $500 per week. On-track medical benefits are $2 million, with the benefit period increased from 36 months to 60 months. Accidental death and dismemberment coverage is $200,000.
This program provides coverage for you any time you are exercising horses or riding races on the premises of Delaware Park.
The cost of this program is paid for by Delaware Park, the Delaware Jockeys’ Health & Welfare Fund, and jockeys. There is a mandatory $4 fee deducted from every jock mount.
