We look at how the Grand National prize money has changed over the years (since 2000) as the horse racing world gets under starter’s orders for the 2025 renewal on Saturday 5th April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

See below how the prize purse has evolved since 2000, including what the Grand National 2025<\/a> winnings will be and the full breakdown from first to tenth.<\/p>\n

The Winning 2025 Grand National Prize Money Is LESS Than 100\/1 Shot Mon Mome Won In 2009<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Back in 2009 the Grand National<\/a> witnessed one of the biggest shocks the race has produced in its history, when the Venetia Williams-trained 100\/1 shot Mon Mome landed the famous race.<\/p>\n

That year Mon Mome scooped \u00a3509,970 for his owner Vida Bingham – which was the first time the Grand National prize money had topped the half-a-million mark.<\/p>\n

However, 16 years on and remarkably the 2025 Grand National prize money is actually LESS than 2009 – with this year’s winner set to get bang-on \u00a3500,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Which is almost \u00a310k less than Mon Mome.<\/p>\n

You can see how the Grand National prize money has changed (or not) since 2000 below.<\/p>\n

2025 Grand National Prize Money Breakdown – From 1st to 10th<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There will be a maximum of 34 Grand National runners in 2025, with the field size having been reduced in 2024 for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

Of these runners, the Grand National prize money stretches down to tenth place, who will pick up \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n

Last year 21 horses completed the race – meaning eleven horses missed out on any prize money winnings.<\/p>\n

Just like 12 months ago, the 2025 winner will bank a cool \u00a3500,000<\/strong> for their owner.<\/p>\n

With the second collecting \u00a3200,000 and the third \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n

Not bad for about 10 minutes work.<\/p>\n

    The Biggest Grand National Prize Money Came Between 2014 and 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    So, we know the 2025 Grand National prize money purse is a \u00a31m purse, with the winner getting \u00a3500k.<\/p>\n

    But even though you’d think that over time this would have increased – it was in fact the period between 2014 and 2017 that saw the most winnings.<\/p>\n

    The 2014 winner Pineau De Re<\/strong> was toasting a \u00a3561,300 win – which has been the most the winner has ever got.<\/p>\n

    Which was matched over the next three years by Many Clouds<\/strong> (2015), Rule The World<\/strong> (2016) and One For Arthur<\/strong> (2017). This was mainly down to a new sponsor over this period – Crabbie’s.<\/p>\n

    Randox took over the sponsorship in 2017 and kept the Grand National prize money the same that year. However, dropped it back in 2018 to \u00a3500k for the winner (Tiger Roll)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    It’s remained at this level each year since – barring 2021 when Minella Times<\/strong> won \u00a3375k, which was during Covid times. This was the lowest return for a winner of the National since Amberleigh House won \u00a3348,000 in 2004.<\/p>\n

    In 2022 the prize haul returned to \u00a3500k for the winner. Where it remains heading into the 2025 race.<\/p>\n

    How Much Will The Winning Grand National Jockey Get?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    As a rule, jumps jockeys in the UK in 2025 get approx. 9% of any winning prize money and around 3.4% of any place money.<\/p>\n

    This is on top of every jump jockey getting a riding fee of \u00a3227.92.<\/p>\n

    All this means that the with the first prize at \u00a3500,000 – the 2025 Grand National-winning jockey can earn<\/a> 11% of this, which is \u00a345,000.<\/p>\n

    Plus, of course, their \u00a3227.92 riding fee – which will put a smile on their bank manager’s face.<\/p>\n

    WATCH: I Am Maximus Winning The 2024 Grand National<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    I Am Maximus scooped \u00a3500,000 for his owner JP McManus<\/a>, who was winning the race for a third time.<\/p>\n

    The horse is one of the fancies again with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK<\/a>. He’ll look to join the likes or Red Rum and Tiger Roll as a multiple winner of the Grand National.<\/p>\n

    While one of the 2025 Grand National favourites<\/a> to win the race in 2025 is last year’s Irish Grand National<\/a> winner – Intense Raffles.<\/p>\n
