Where the Blue Riband Trial Stakes prize money goes
the British Horseracing Authority sets the shares, and the Blue Riband Trial Stakes is flat racing
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 80% | £40,000 |
| Trainer | 7.85% | £3,925 |
| Jockey | 5.77% | £2,885 |
