We hold the total fund for the Alcibiades Stakes and no separate winner's cheque. What the winner takes is a rule the racecourse sets rather than a national one, and it varies race by race.
Run in 1:44.69 in 2025, the Alcibiades Stakes pays $6,209 for every second of the race, which is 117th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 61st in the United States.
