In the Kentucky Derby, the owner of the winning horse receives about 65% of the total purse. In 2010 the total purse was $2,185,200, which means the owner of Super Saver won $1,425,200. From those winnings the owner pays a percentage to the jockey and the trainer, usually around 10% of his share of the purse.

The jockey earns 10% of what the horse earns for winning, which is often 60% of what the purse (dollar amount) assigned to the race.
