We hold the total fund for the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris 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. What the owner, the trainer and the rider take out of the fund is a national rule, and that is below.
Where the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris prize money goes
France Galop sets the shares
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 75% | €637,500 |
| Trainer | 14% | €119,000 |
| Jockey | 8.5% | €72,250 |
| Social charges | 2.5% | €21,250 |
Every share here is a percentage of the €850,000 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 France works it out across all of them.
