We hold the total fund for the Cotillion Handicap 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 1:42.85 in 2025, the Cotillion Handicap pays $9,723 for every second of the race, which is 70th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 33rd in the United States.
