How much does the horse owner get in the Kentucky Derby?

Answer 1

The fees associated with the 2005 Triple Crown....

$600 early nomination fee

$6000 late nomination fee

$150,000 supplemental Kentucky Derby entry fee

$100,000 supplemental Preakness and Belmont nomination fee

$15,000 to enter

$15,000 to start

So you're looking at a price range between $30,600 and $180,000.

Of course, this is all assuming your horse has enough stakes earnings to make the field. The field is limited to 20 horses, and as of February 1, 2008, there are 488 nominations already. The top 20 horses by stakes earnings are allowed to enter the Kentucky Derby.
