We hold the total fund for the Bay Shore 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 1:23.00 in 2026, the Bay Shore Stakes pays $1,807 for every second of the race, which is 299th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 155th in the United States.
