Did the fifth place horse Noble Promise win any money yesterday at the Kentucky Derby?

Noble's Promise finished 5th in the 2010 Kentucky Derby. Since the Derby distributes purse money to the top 5 finishers, the owners of Noble's Promise took home $60,000 for his effort. The purse distribution for the Derby changed in 2005, when prior to that only the top 4 Derby finishers received any purse money.

How many place winners receive money in the Kentucky Derby?

For Derby #135 (May 2, 2009) the owner gets the money, but will be contractually to pay the trainer and jockey a certain fee (usually between 10% or 15% of the purse.) From the courier journal: If all 20 horses start in Saturday's Kentucky Derby (Derby #135, May 2, 2009,) the total purse will be $2,210,000, with $1,450,000 to the winner. That ranks third all-time. The record purse came in 2005 - the first year Churchill guaranteed a purse at least $2 million. Giacomo netted $1,639,600 of the $2,399,600 purse that year, which included a $200,000 supplementary entry fee owner B. Wayne Hughes put up to make 11th-place Greeley's Galaxy eligible to run. Last year's purse was $2,213,200, with Barbaro earning $1,453,200. Of the Derbypurse, $1.11 million comes from fees paid by horse owners in early and late nominations to the Triple Crown, as well as the $25,000 entry fee and $25,000 starting paid for each horse who actually competes in the race.

How much will Calvin Borel make for winning the Kentucky Derby?

Depends on who the "you" is. The time-honored tradition in racing is that the owner of the winning horse (of any race, not just the Derby) recieves 60% of the total purse. So: the Derby is a $2.1 million race. The winning owner recieves $1.26M. But (s)he then "stakes out" (racing term basically for tipping) 10% of that to the trainer and 10% to the jockey, thus each recieves $126,000 for their respective contributions to the victory.

Why is the Kentucky Derby such a big deal?

The Kentucky Derby is the most famous 2-minutes of sports. It is the first and most famous of the Triple Crown Races (including the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes), which is run by 3-yr-old thoroughbreds. It is run on the first Saturday in May every year at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. This year was the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby and Big Brown won with Eight Belles coming in 2nd. She was later euthanized on the track after breaking both front ankles right after she finished the race. Only 3 fillies have ever won the Derby.


How much does the horse owner get in the Kentucky Derby?

The fees associated with the 2005 Triple Crown.... $600 early nomination fee $6000 late nomination fee $150,000 supplemental Kentucky Derby entry fee $100,000 supplemental Preakness and Belmont nomination fee $15,000 to enter $15,000 to start So you're looking at a price range between $30,600 and $180,000. Of course, this is all assuming your horse has enough stakes earnings to make the field. The field is limited to 20 horses, and as of February 1, 2008, there are 488 nominations already. The top 20 horses by stakes earnings are allowed to enter the Kentucky Derby.
