WORLD'S TOP EARNERS IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD) ORDER (AND EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS IN SELECTED OTHER CURRENCIES) - OVER USD 7,000,000 (separate list below for notable earners under USD 7 million ).
AS AT 31 JANUARY 2021
Introductory note
Bonuses:
The British generally do not include bonuses in their earnings figures whereas DRF and equibase.com (USA), hkjc.com (Hong Kong) and racingnsw.com.au, racing.com and racingaustralia.melbourne (Australia) do include bonuses. Bonuses are included in the calculations and are separately identified in the summary of a horses career record. I have shown Winx earnings both with and without trophy values as a point of comparison with other data bases that omit trophy values.
Trophy values:
Trophy values are included in earnings by racingnsw.com.au, racing.com and racingaustralia.melbourne (Australia), loveracing.nz (New Zealand) and goracing.ie (Ireland) and are included in the calculations for horses that raced in those countries.
Forex rates:
Currency conversions are based on the Reserve Bank of Australia daily indicator rates for the date of the race or the previous trading day if the race was run on a non-trading day in Sydney, Australia for races run after 11 December 1983 (daily forex rates commenced to be published then, see:
https://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/historical-data.html). For races or jurisdidictions where the RBA did not publish a daily forex rate then the daily forex rate is the closing forex rate published in the Financial Times (London) and if that is not available 'online' then the closing forex rate published in The Times (London).
Hong Kong earnings:
Where I cannot be certain of Hong Kong earnings (generally becuase pre race 'pdf's with prizemoney allocations disappear from the hkjc.com website once the race has been run) I allocate allocate total prizemoney on the following basis unless there is evidence to the contrary: Group 1 (including HKG1) prizemoney percentages: 1st 57.00%, 2nd 22.00%, 3rd 10.00%, 4th 5.70%, 5th 3.30%, 6th 2.00%; All other prizemoney percentages: 1st 57.00%, 2nd 22.00%, 3rd 11.50%, 4th 6.00%, 5th 3.50%, 6th 0.00%.

For starts 8 to 10 racingpost.com did not publish Hong Kong results so I used the following percentages (1st 57.00%, 2nd 22.00%, 3rd 11.50%, 4th 6.00%, 5th 3.50%, 6th 0.00%) to allocate total race prizemoney.

The difference may be due the the forex rates used to convert UAE (Dubai) earnings into HKD.

(I am unable to reconcile my post import Hong Kong earnings of HKD 58,657,745 with the hkjc.com post import earnings of HKD 58,896,658 for 20 starts (including 1 start in Japan for which I have earnings of HKD 4,348,495). My USD calendar year totals are almost identical with equibase.com figures except for the 2016 calendar year yet my 2016 HKD amounts are identical with those on bloodhound.net.au and in line with the 2016 GBP figures published by racingpost.com. Some bloodhound.net.au HKD amounts for 2017 and 2018 appear to be incorrect (eg compare with hkjc pattern book for 2017-18 and racing post.com amounts).)

(Bullish Luck's earnings include a USD 1,000,000 bonus for winning the Asian Mile Challenge when he won the Yasuda Kinen in Tokyo, Japan on 4 June 2006. 'equibase.com' have career earnings of USD 8,825,485 which is USD 1,014,494.45 more than my figure of USD 7,810,99.55. Looking at the equibase.com calendar year earnings and my equivalent figures the discrepancy arises in the 2006 calendar year. Assuming forex differences of some 14,494.45 over the horses career I infer that equibase.com has double counted the 2006 Asian Mile Challenge Bonus of USD 1,000,000. I have emailed equibase.com about that and equibase.com responded as follows: "Since all of his races were overseas, we have limited specifics to each race. Equibase covers North American racing (US and Canada). Any result information would be provided by the foreign racing jurisdiction and we would report what they paid out to the owner." In other words equibase.com does not independently audit information received. The 'hkjc.com' summary excludes 8 starts and earnings appear overstated by at least HKD 2,000,000. The 'racingpost.com' total is understated by about GBP 500,000 as the USD 1,000,000 bonus (GBP 536,039) was not included but the 'racingpost.com' total is otherwise correct after allowing for differing forex rates that may have been applied.)

(hkjc.com has career earnings of HKD 59,026,500 (includes Hong Kong International Sale Bonus announced by hkjc.com 20 June 2006 of HKD 1,000,000) for 46 starts (43 in Hong Kong, 2 in Japan and 1 in UAE (Dubai, no prizemoney earnt outside Hong Kong)). My total earnings for the 46 starts are HKD 58,776,500 (including bonus) which is HKD 250,000 less than the hkjc.com total. My cumulative earnings up to start 12 (including bonus) are HKD 3,955,500 which is the same as hkjc.com (see:
https://www.hkjc.com/english/special/HKIS/hkis_BonusWinners.asp). Looking at figures from bloodhound.net.au, racingnsw.com.au or racingpost.com for individual races I cannot find HKD 250,000 unless that amount was paid as a further bonus which I cannot find. I have converted the HKD bonus to other currencies using forex rates for 7 Jan 2006 where I assume first place in the race on that date was the trigger event for payment of the bonus. The hkjc.com earnings does not include earnings from 4 starts in Australia. Where I don't have any information at all about the Hong Kong prize split I have used 1st 57.00%, 2nd 22.00%, 3rd 11.50%, 4th 6.00%, 5th 3.50%, 6th 0.00%. In other cases I have formed a view about which of bloodhound.net.au, racingnsw.com.au or racingpost.com is likely to best reflect the Hong Kong prizemoney split to apportion total Hong Kong prizemoney.
