How Much Will The Winning Welsh Grand National Jockey Get?
Jump jockeys in UK horse racing will receive £214.63 for riding in each race. While they also get a percentage of any winnings, with a jumps rider getting around 11% of any win prize money and just under 3.5% of any place prize money.
This means, with the Welsh Grand National prize money for the winner at £85,425.00, the winning jockey will get £9,396.75. Not bad for just over 8 minutes work as last year’s winning time was 8m 18.29 seconds.
The winning jockey in 2022 was claimer David Pritchard.
How Does The Chepstow Prize Money Compare To The Aintree Grand National?

The 2023 Scottish Grand National winner Kitty’s Light won £112,540, while the 2023 Irish Grand National winner, I Am Maximus won €270,000.
