The winner takes 50% of the fund, and the four places behind share the remaining €40,000 on a ladder France Galop publishes rather than one the racecourse sets race by race. Both ladders are below: what each place is worth, and what each of the owner, the trainer and the rider takes out of the €80,000.
Run in 2:13.40 in 2025, Prix Fille de l'Air pays €600 for every second of the race, which is 499th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 103rd in France.
Where the Prix Fille de l'Air prize money goes
France Galop sets the shares
| Finishing place | Share of the fund | What it is worth |
|---|---|---|
| Winner | 50% | €40,000 |
| Second | 20% | €16,000 |
| Third | 15% | €12,000 |
| Fourth | 10% | €8,000 |
| Fifth | 5% | €4,000 |
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 75% | €60,000 |
| Trainer | 14% | €11,200 |
| Jockey | 8.5% | €6,800 |
| Social charges | 2.5% | €2,000 |
Every share here is a percentage of the €80,000 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
Open to three-year-olds and older horses, so the race pays two rates
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 2 and 3, outside Group 1 | 75% | €60,000 | €30,000 |
| Horses of 4 and over, outside Group 1 | 45% | €36,000 | €18,000 |
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.
