The Jockey Club has announced that total prize-money at its 15 racecourses will rise to £61.47 million this year, up from a budgeted £58.1 million in 2025. In addition, a total of 322 fixtures will be staged across The Jockey Club over the next 12 months – up from a scheduled 319 last year. Of the £61.47 million, a total of £31.7 million will come from executive contribution – the amount The Jockey Club puts in from its own funds – up from a budgeted £30.6 million in 2025. Jim Mullen, Chief Executive of The Jockey Club, said: “We're pleased to be able to increase prize money across our racecourses and have worked hard throughout our budgeting process to ensure this is possible. For The Jockey Club, prize money now accounts for more than 70% of our overall profits, up from 55% in 2019.
