This is the race every jockey and owner wants to win, not only to write their name into the pantheon of horse racing history but for the massive prize pot available to them.
How much money is in the Grand National prize pot?
A total of £1 million is up for grabs which will be split out across the top ten finishers, meaning a little under a third of all entrants will leave the meeting with heavier pockets.
Here is a full breakdown of the prize money up for grabs at this year’s Grand National:
£500,000
£200,000
£100,000
£65,000
£40,000
£30,000
£20,000
£15,000
£10,000
£5,000
Who gets the biggest share of the prize?
In horse racing it is not the jockey who takes home the biggest payout. Instead the owner is awarded the entirety of the share from which the jockey takes home a percentage for their efforts.
Winning jockeys on average will take home about 8% of the winning pot while placed riders will take home around 4%.
This means the winning rider can expect to leave the event with a paycheck of around £40,000.
