Rule 006.06.22-006 - Thoroughbred Rule 2260 Purse Distribution

2260. Purse distribution for each race shall be paid on the following basis:

(a)Stakes races. In stakes races, 1.5% of the purse shall be paid with respect to each of the official starters 5*'' through last in the final race result; and the balance of the purse shall be paid; winner 65%; place 20%; show 10%; and fourth 5%. For example, in a stakes race with twelve (12) official starters and a $200,000 purse; 5"' through 12*'' would each receive $3,000 (i.e., 1.5% each, for a total of $24,000); and the remaining $176,000 would then be paid out 65% ($114,400) to the winner; 20% ($35,200) to second; 10% ($17,600) to third; and 5% ($8,800) to fourth. If there are only four (4) official starters in the stakes race, the purse shall be paid: winner 65%; place 20%; show 10%; and fourth 5%. If there are less than four (4) official starters in the stakes race, the purse shall be paid in accordance with the specified percentages in the immediately preceding sentence above, and the balance of the purse for the race shall revert to the purse fund.

(b)Non-Stakes races. In all other races (i.e., non-stakes races), purse distribution shall be paid: winner 60%; place 20%; show 10%; fourth 5%; and the remaining 5% shall be divided and paid equally among the other official starters in the race (i.e., fifth through last). However, if there are only five (5) official starters in the non-stakes race, the purse shall be paid: winner 60%; place 20%; show 10%; fourth 6%; and fifth 4%. If there are less than five (5) official starters in the non-stakes race, the purse shall be paid in accordance with the specified percentages in the immediately preceding sentence above, and the balance of the purse for the race shall revert to the purse fund.
