Run in 2:04.29 in 2026, Prix d'Harcourt pays €1,046 for every second of the race, which is 364th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 50th in France.
Where the Prix d'Harcourt prize money goes
France Galop sets the shares
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 75% | €97,500 |
| Trainer | 14% | €18,201 |
| Jockey | 8.5% | €11,049 |
| Social charges | 2.5% | €3,250 |
Every share here is a percentage of the €130,000 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.
What a French-bred horse adds on top
Four-year-olds and up, so the rate is 45%
France is the one country here where the purse is not the end of the money.
| Horse | Rate | Premium on the race | Premium to the winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horses of 4 and over, outside Group 1 | 45% | €58,500 | €33,345 |
The premium is paid on top of the purse rather than out of it, and in full. A second premium goes to the breeder who produced the horse, charged on the prize and the owner's premium together: 13% where the covering took place in France.
