The Diamond Classic splits added money payouts, along with 35% of the entry fees, 70/30. 70% goes to owner/rider and 30% gets paid out to DC Slot holders.

The Diamond Classic has always focused on the breeder. We are a breeders incentive and the DC Slot payout will go to the breeder on the registration papers first as long as they are an active DC Slot holder. 

Tiebreaker Policy for Slot Holder Claims

In cases where multiple Diamond Classic Slot Holders are connected to the same winning horse, the following order of priority will determine who receives the recognition and associated benefits:

  1. Breeder of the running horse — If the breeder listed on the horse’s registration paperwork is an active Diamond Classic slot holder, they take priority.
  2. Stallion Owner — If the breeder is not a slot holder, the slot will go to the owner of the qualifying stallion.
  3. Horse Owner
  4. Mare Owner
  5. Stallion Station

This hierarchy ensures fair recognition based on the most direct contribution to the horse’s eligibility.

Event Entry Fees

Entry fees are determined by the amount of added money for each event:
