We hold the total fund for the Withers 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 1:51.68 in 2026, the Withers Stakes pays $2,239 for every second of the race, which is 266th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 136th in the United States.
