What is the Grand National prize money and how much do jockeys get paid?

This year's Grand National will see runners and riders set off hoping to write their names into the history books in one of the world's most famous races - but there is also a considerable reward at the finish line.

The race will return to its original sum of £1million prize pool after previously being reduced by circumstances around the Covid pandemic. Now, the sole winner will pocket over half the winnings: a whopping £561,300.

The prize money gradually decreases based on placements, with the top 10 all securing financial rewards for their performance. The second-placed finisher will rack in £211,100 and third £105,000, decreasing to £1,000 for 10th place.
