(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.)

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%.                                    
                                    
Note the British generally do not include bonuses in their earnings figures whereas DRF and equibase.com (USA) and hkjc.com (Hong Kong) do.  racingnsw.com.au and racing.com (Australia) and loveracing.nz (New Zealand) include trophy values.                                     
                                    
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 run prior to 12 December 1983 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) was used.                                     
                                    
As John Henry (USA) 1975 raced at a time when the Japanese yen (JPY) was very weak relative to the US dollar John Henry's earnings in JPY place him in the top ten all time JPY earners.

AUSTRALASIAN THOROUGHBRED EARNINGS RECORD HOLDERS THROUGH THE AGES


CARBINE (NZ) 1885
Undisputed number 1 Australasian career earnings record at the end of his career which ended 4 April 1891. Further work to be done for prior years.

Phar Laps earned USD 50,500.00 in Mexico not USD 50,050.00 as commonly reported.  USD 50,500.00 is taken from Daily Racing Form's Agua Caliente Mexico race result chart (DRF race no 69512) run Sunday, March 20 1932.
To work out the AUD equivalent to USD 50,500.00 I have used to the exchange rates reported in the Financial Times (London, England), Saturday, March 19, 1932, p.3. In particular see: 'Foreign Exchange Rates New York 18 March for 'London' 'Cables' for USD to GBP 1.00 rate (USD 3.63125 = GBP 1.00) and 'Dominion exchange rates' re Australia pounds to GBP 100.00 rate (average of buy and sell 'Sight' rate per £100 sterling) which is converted to AUD to GBP 1.00 (AUD 2.5175 = GBP 1.00). The notional cross rate derived is USD 2.8848 to £A 1.00  or USD 1.4424 to AUD 1.00

The 1960 American Racing Manual does not distinguished between Canadian and United States dollar earnings in effect treating the currencies as having equal value.   
The rate used to convert CAD to USD is the rate published for calendar year 1959 from a table viewed 'PACIFIC Exchange Rate Service' by the Universaity of British Coumbia Sauder School of Business (© 2016 by Prof. Werner Antweiler). Although not unexpected Prof. Antweiler's table also reflects a steady exchange rate of USD 1.12 to an equivalent AUD 1.00 (or USD 2.24 to £A 1.00) a figure widely quoted in the Australian newspapers at the time Sailor's Guide raced in North America.  I have not been able to locate any Reserve Bank of Australia exchange rate data covering this period on the internet.

Ah the Everest. Yes indeed. What will they say including those behind the Pegasus World Cup, the Breeders Cup, the British Champions meeting and Dubai World Cup meeting  or even Vic racing.  We also have sales promotion races, restricted territorial races and territorial breeders bonuses.  Didn't we once have a special Group 1 race to celebrate the America's Cup the 1983 'Australasian' in Perth.  Unlike so many Group 1 races at least the Everest is likely to attract the best possible field.  At least until recently the Americans did not include Japanese earnings in statistical tables because they believe they were inflated - see DRF website for some stuff on this - but they did include Dubai earnings - go figure.  Now they have their own Pegasus meeting perhaps their rules will change especially now that Arrogate is the money leader.  Perhaps to borrow the latest excuse for any perfidy from the business world the answer is: 'it is what it is'.   

Cheers

Dave , Lets call it what it is . The " Everest" is a load of crap. The marketing genius' s who are probably being paid a small fortune couldn't even come up with a better name than something that is peculiar to an another Country. If South Africa comes up with a new race do you think they will call it the "Sydney Opera House Stakes". Total garbage. As a famous racing scribe once said , if you put the breeders in charge of anything you will get greed in all its  manifestations. That sadly is what has happened in NSW.

tim,

For the sake of good house keeping I have cut and pasted your list to the post that is indexed as Prizemoney Record Holders on the Race Records of Champion Racehorses thread.

Marvelous research.   

AUSTRALASIAN THOROUGHBRED MARES EARNINGS RECORD HOLDERS THROUGH THE AGES
Deleted as copy of previous post.

That is a fantastic list!

Before La Carabine, it would be hard to know. Auraria which won the 1895 Melbourne Cup, VRC Oaks and Fisher Plate for a total from those 3 victories of £4229 10s would probably be ahead of Briseis and Zoe. There were very few outstanding mares before La Carabine.

It's interesting compared to today, but on a list from 1944 of the highest-earning Australasian horses, Desert Gold was the highest mare although in 25th place overall.

Some amazing horses there.  How about Kingston ?  A world record 89 wins, only out of the money 4 times in 138 starts.  He raced from two  through his 10 year old season and was the leading sire in America when he was 16 and again when he was 26. 

In 1910, when he was champion the second time his son Novelty was the leading US money winner and champion 2YO but was then exported to France and later Brazil because of the Harts-Agnew laws that made gaming and horse racing illegal in New York state in 1908.  Racing was only able to continue by oral wagering.  Anything written down was deemed illegal and the law was out in force to enforce the law.  These laws followed on from similar acts in neighboring New Jersey from 1898 that started something of an exodus of horses and riders from America to Europe including the great Tod Sloan.  After a 1911 amendment to the law to limit the liability of owners and directors was defeated,every racetrack in New York State shut down.  Racing resumed in New York in 1913 after the full economic gravity of ban was realized.

Yes, the Jersey laws. 

They had quite an impact on the evolution of the sport of thoroughbred racing in the first half of the 20th century and were responsible, I think, for the various jurisdictions developing apart from one another. 

I presume Weatherby's took exception to the lines of Lexington on Durbar's dam side because his grandsire Timolean was out of the Saltram Mare (~1801) who traces to the Vampire mare (~1757) at the head of American Family 24. 

157 years on the British declared Durbur not worthy of the Stud Book and the horse beat all the colts worthy of the Stud Book for the Derby.  Ridiculous.

The way the Everest prize money keeps increasing, it won't be long before a single win will overtake all bar Winx on the list.
