The Jockeys Guild, based in Lexington, KY, is an organization that represents and advocates for jockeys in the horse racing industry. They provide important news and updates to their members, including the recent eligibility of jockeys for state unemployment insurance under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).

They emphasize the importance of jockeys understanding the qualifications and procedures in the states where they regularly ride in order to determine the best benefit available. The Guild continues to update their members on their website as they navigate through this challenging period, prioritizing the safety and health of jockeys and their families.
