Preakness Stakes payout breakdown: How much prize money will the winner get in 2020?

There will be no Triple Crown winner in 2020 — not after Authentic's Kentucky Derby win kept Tiz the Law from horse racing's greatest achievement — but there is still plenty at stake at the 2020 Preakness Stake.

This year's race, which will take place at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md., is normally the second of the three Triple Crown races.

Here's a look at the purse and prize money breakdown for Saturday, as well as how the Preakness Stakes purse stacks up against its Triple Crown counterparts.
