Run in 1:11.87 in 2026, Prix Robert Papin pays €1,809 for every second of the race, which is 282nd of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 32nd in France.
Where the Prix Robert Papin 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
Two and three-year-olds, so the rate is 75%
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% | €97,500 | €55,575 |
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.
