We hold the total fund for the San Miguel Stakes 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.
Run in 1:09.54 in 2009, the San Miguel Stakes pays $1,007 for every second of the race, which is 400th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 181st in the United States.
