The winner takes 57% of the fund. The remaining £303,030 is shared between the horses behind, on a scale the racecourse sets race by race rather than a fixed one.
Run in 3:04.63 in 2025, the St Leger Stakes pays £3,791 for every second of the race, which is 144th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 5th in Great Britain.
Where the St Leger Stakes prize money goes
the British Horseracing Authority sets the shares, and the St Leger Stakes is flat racing
| Who takes it | Share of the fund | Out of this purse |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 80% | £560,000 |
| Trainer | 7.85% | £54,950 |
| Jockey | 5.77% | £40,390 |
| Stable staff | 4.75% | £33,250 |
| Industry causes | 1.63% | £11,410 |
Every share here is a percentage of the £700,000 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 Great Britain works it out across all of them.
