Run in 2:45.11 in 2026, the Bahrain Trophy pays £1,192 for every second of the race, which is 313th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 16th in Great Britain.
Where the Bahrain Trophy prize money goes
the British Horseracing Authority sets the shares, and the Bahrain Trophy is flat racing
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 80% | £157,392 |
| Trainer | 7.85% | £15,444 |
| Jockey | 5.77% | £11,352 |
| Stable staff | 4.75% | £9,345 |
| Industry causes | 1.63% | £3,207 |
Every share here is a percentage of the £196,740 fund rather than of the winner's cheque, and the rider's figure covers the whole field rather than the winning rider alone. The same rule pays every race in the country, and where a purse goes in Great Britain works it out across all of them.
