What the owner takes out of a purse

The published split in the countries Dorothy Paget wins in

12 of 12 wins covered

Every racing authority that publishes a rule publishes it as a split of the race fund rather than of a winner's cheque, so these are figures about the races below and not about one person's bank account.

Country Wins there Code Owner's share Purse of those races Owners' share of it
Great Britain 12 Jumps and Flat 80% / 78.25% £7,828,160£7.8m £6,151,785£6.2m

British racing splits every pound of prize money five ways, and the two codes do not split it the same way. The owner's share is the largest single line in every country that publishes one, and it is the line that moves when a country changes its rules: British jump racing gives its riders 1.75 points more of every purse than the Flat does, and those points come out of the owner's share rather than anybody else's.
