What is the prize money for winning at Cheltenham?

There will be a record amount of prize money available for the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, with £4,930,000 to be awarded to owners, trainers and jockeys across the four days.

The figure has increased by £115,000 since the record amount awarded in prize money at the 2024 Festival.

With a whopping £625,000 available, the Cheltenham Gold Cup is the highlight of the week and once again the richest race across the four days.

The Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, Ryanair Chase and the Stayers' Hurdle complete the top five races with the biggest prize money throughout the Cheltenham Festival.

The increased prize money is one of a number of changes being made for 2025, with other Cheltenham Festival changes including amendments to the running order and race updates.
