See below the Welsh Grand National prize money breakdown on what the winning (and placed) horse in the big Chepstow contest on Friday 27th December 2024 will collect.
Welsh Grand National Prize Money 2024: The Chepstow Winner Will Get £85,425.00
The winning horse in the Welsh Grand National 2024 will bank £85,425,00 for their owner (s) – however, they don’t get to spend it all.
Why? This is due to the winning trainer and jockey taking a cut – approximately 10% each of this winning prize money or around 6% of any place winnings.
Meaning the first-past-the-post jockey and winning trainer can expect to bank around £8.5k each in Welsh Grand National prize money. Which will certainly help pay for some horse racing Christmas expenses at this time of the year.
In addition to the £85k for the winning Welsh Grand National horse, the second horse will collect £32k and the third £16k – you can see the full prize money breakdown to sixth place below.

Who Won The Welsh Grand National In 2023?
12 months ago in 2023, the Gary Moore-trained Nassalam powered home to land the Welsh Grand National (watch below) but doesn’t run in 2024.
In fact, the Moore camp won’t have a runner in the race in 2024, but we do have another past winner entered – Iwilldoit, who took the prize in 2021 as an 8 year-old.
This Sam Thomas runner is back aged 11 and was also third in the race last season.
In the build up to the Welsh Grand National, the best horse racing betting sites in the UK have seen a flood of money for the Kerry Lee-trained Atlanta Brave. The yard also won this race in 2016 with Mountainous, so know a thing or two about training the Chepstow winner.
