The winner takes 57% of the fund. The remaining £43,290 is shared between the horses behind, on a scale the racecourse sets race by race rather than a fixed one.
Run in 2:06.54 in 2026, the Dee Stakes pays £790 for every second of the race, which is 394th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 25th in Great Britain.
Where the Dee Stakes prize money goes
the British Horseracing Authority sets the shares, and the Dee Stakes is flat racing
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 80% | £80,000 |
| Trainer | 7.85% | £7,850 |
| Jockey | 5.77% | £5,770 |
| Stable staff | 4.75% | £4,750 |
| Industry causes | 1.63% | £1,630 |
Every share here is a percentage of the £100,000 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.
