On May 17, during the 150th Preakness Stakes, Journalism took home the win, bringing in a nice payday for everyone involved. The race had a total purse of $2 million, and the winner took home $1.2 million of that.
You know, when it comes to prize money, it usually gets split among the horse’s stakeholders. Most of it goes to the owners, and then the trainer and jockey each take home a standard 10% share. Pretty interesting, right? So, it looks like Journalism’s owners would get around $960,000, while the trainer and the jockey would each take home about $120,000.
Journalism’s win at the Preakness just adds to his already impressive record, which features victories at the Santa Anita Derby and a solid second-place finish at the Kentucky Derby. Prior to this latest victory , he racked up over $1.6 million in career earnings, really cementing his place as a top contender for the remainder of the 2025 racing season.
