2023 Belmont Stakes Prize Money Breakdown: What Will the Winning Horse Get?
On June 10, US horse racing fans will see the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes as a field of nine runners – headed by the Todd Pletcher-trained Forte – will look to cement their place in US horse racing folklore by winning the third and final Triple Crown race of 2023.
However, not only will the winning horse, owner, trainer and jockey have their name carved in the Belmont Stakes hall-of-fame, but there is also a lucrative cash prize for the winning connections.
There is a $1.5m purse on the table for the horses to try and win, with the 2023 Belmont Stakes winner set to get $800,000 of that – which equates to a massive 53% of the total Belmont Stakes prize money.
You can see below the split on what the other best-placed finishers will earn – with the second banking $280,000 and the fifth $60,000 in Belmont Stakes prize money.
Despite this huge first prize, the Belmont Stakes is still some way behind the Kentucky Derby with a $3m purse and both are dwarfed by the richest horse race in the world – the Saudi Cup, with a $20m purse and $10m to the winner.

What Will The Winning Belmont Stakes Trainer and Owner Earn?
This can vary slightly, depending on if there is a private retainer deal in place between the owner and the trainers.
However, in general, the winning Belmont Stakes owner will get 80% of the prize month, with the jockey and the trainer getting the other 10% each.
So, based on the $800k for winning the 2023 Belmont Stakes, the winning owner would pocket $640,000 (before any taxes), with the jockey and trainer getting $80,000 each.
Not bad earnings for just 2 minutes work!
Of course, in addition to the cash, the winning horse will also get the Run for the Carnations, draped over them. Plus, the winning owner will receive a huge August Belmont Trophy (pictured above) and the trainers, jockey and even the horse’s breeder will pick up smaller trophies each to remember the day.
The winning owner is allowed to keep the August Belmont Trophy for a year but will also collect a silver miniature version to keep forever.
