8 Monies For Belmont This Year

[Thomas Roulston]

The purse for the 2014 Belmont Stakes will be divided amongst the first eight finishers with $800,000 to the winner, $280,000 to second, $150,000 to third, $100,000 to fourth, $60,000 to fifth, $45,000 to sixth, $35,000 to seventh, and $30,000 to eighth. In recent years, the Belmont Stakes purse had been shared amongst the first five finishers on a 60-20-11-6-3 percent basis.

"Belmont Stakes runners represent the very best of their respective foal crops," said NYRA Stakes Coordinator Andrew Byrnes. "This purse increase helps ensure the fullest, most competitive field possible, and even an owner whose horse finishes eighth can earn good purse money for his or her commitment."
