In the kentucky derby?

Question

do they give prize money for 1st and second place?

Answer 1

the top 5 get prize money....in the all American futurity that runs on labor day....all 10 horses get a

check.....the world fastest horses going a 1/4 of a mile....it's no joke.....

Answer 2

All of these answers are correct but as far as wagering goes, only first second and third payout with the exception of the superfecta.

Answer 3

Yep, they give prize money for 2nd and 3rd to the fifth place!! But the later the place the less money they get!!!

Answer 4

Purses are paid thru 5th place. Winner gets 60%, 2nd gets 20%, 3rd gets 10%, 4th gets 6%, 5th gets 4%. Percentages are  calculated differently according to state regulations. It's usually pretty close to this in most states.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

According the results on Equibase they paid purse money to first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place finishers.  First place receiving the most and fifth place receiving the least.
