Earnings

Each state is different, but at NYRA the purse distribution is allocated in the following way:

  • 55 percent of the total purse to the winner
  • 20 percent to second place
  • 12 percent to third place
  • 6 percent to fourth place
  • 4 percent to fifth place
  • 3 percent divided among the remaining runners

ZRS will post a fully detailed purse earnings credit to each partner’s account usually the day after a race. 

Trainer and jockey commissions vary based on trainer and placing.

ZRS receives a 5% commission on gross earnings for 1st through 3rd place, and 4th through 5th place in a stake race. 

ZRS also receives 5% on any other revenue stream, such as but not limited to any stallion/breeding revenue or any sale on a horse above its original purchase/claim price.

New York-bred Incentive Program

The New York-bred incentive program offers significantly higher rewards for foals by New York-based sires.

For horses competing in open company, owners are eligible to receive a 20% bonus on purse money earned for first through third place with a New York-sired horse. A non-New York-sired horse is eligible in open company for a 10% bonus if it finishes first through third.

Expenses

Typically, training expenses in NY average $40-50,000 per year. ZRS invoices monthly, replicating the way a traditional owner gets billed. A partner can expect to pay about $40-50.00 each month for each 1% of ownership. We ask for one-month of expenses up-front, which is held in reserve and refunded at the end of the partnership.

ZRS bills each partner a flat $10 per month for administrative/accounting work, and approximately $2 for each percent owned to cover our operating/overhead expenses.

All of our billing is done through Horsebills.com
