We hold the total fund for the Zabeel Mile 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 1:35.81 in 2026, the Zabeel Mile pays £526 for every second of the race, which is 492nd of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 20th in the United Arab Emirates.
