The extent of purse monies awarded depends upon the track. Some tracks pay only to 4th, 5th or 6th. Not all pay to last. Albuquerque only paid to 6th place until this year when we started paying to last place.
Stakes races don't always follow the same payout structure as a track's other races. Sunland pays to last but only to 8th in the WinStar Derby.
Plus keep in mind jockeys only get scale pay after 3rd place regardless of where the payments stop for the owners.
