I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me who/which operators fly jockeys around during the racing season and what experience is required?

Couldn't name you an operator, but I would suspect it will be single pilot ops which means as a minimum 700 hours PIC, usually more, with a valid IR and most likely a multi rating too.

Air med do a fair bit, shockwaves, you are a little high on the hours, 500 is the min for Single crew airtaxi ops on AOC. I am led to belive that a lot of the jockeys operate non-AOC flights, just buy 10% of the aircraft and break all the minimas, as per a slightly scarred short Italian jockey who shall remain nameless.
