Owner's share is approximately 80% of the winner's purse. Trainer (10%) and jockey (10%) split the remainder. Training costs for a horse at this level run $75,000–$100,000 per year, widening the gap further. Only American Pharoah (2015) has ever won the Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup Classic in the same season.
