Where the BetMGM Cup prize money goes
the British Horseracing Authority sets the shares, and the BetMGM Cup is jumps racing
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 78.25% | £86,075 |
| Trainer | 7.85% | £8,635 |
| Jockey | 7.52% | £8,272 |
| Stable staff | 4.75% | £5,225 |
| Industry causes | 1.63% | £1,793 |
Every share here is a percentage of the £110,000 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.
