(To get to the same figure as hkjc.com I have assumed that Beauty Generation earned 11.5% or HKD 1,150,000 for 3rd in the 2017 Hong Kong Classic Mile and earned 10% or HKD 1,800,000 for 3rd in the 2017 BMW Hong Kong Derby)

According to hkjc records Vengeance of Rain earned HKD 75,410,500 from racing in Hong Kong. I can only arrive at this figure if I assume Vengeance of Rain won a bonus of USD 500,000 for winning the 2005 world racing championships series (the last year the series was run, first run in 1999 with a bonus of USD 1,000,000). I have not been able to find any evidence of the amount paid.  The components making up the total could possibly be:  Hong Kong race earnings of HKD 47,965,500 + UAE Dubai earnings of say HKD 23,445,000 + Bonus of say HKD 4,000,000.                       
If a USD 500,000 bonus is included in the total above the earnings then the earnings in the various will increase to: AUD 12,388,059; USD 9,697,749; GBP 5,125,991; EUR 7,525,290; JPY 1,111,275,619 and HKD 75,588,958 (inc Australian earnings and allowing for exchange rate differences to rates used by hkjc)

I am unable to reconcile my HKD earnings with the hkjc.com total of HKD 58,896,658 for 20 starts.  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).

(The hkjc.com post import total of HKD 61,333,624 includes United Kingdom earnings of GBP 5062.50 for which I do not have an equivalent hkjc.com HKD amount.  I have calculated that GBP 5,062.50 is equivalent to HKD 61,254 so that my total post import earnings are HKD 61,334,754 which is just HKD 1,130 more than the hkjc.com total.   When the hkjc.com pre import earnings of HKD 155,680 (see https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/content/english/pp_formsheet/fse_P303.pdf) are added to the hkjc.com post import earnings of HKD 61,333,624 the worldwide hjkc.com earnings total HKD 61,489,304.  I have worldwide HKD earnings of HKD 61,489,505 which is just HKD 201 greater and comprises Australia earnings of HKD 154,751 plus Hong Kong earnings of HKD 61,273,500 plus United Kingdom earnings of HKD 61,254.  It is likely the differences are attributed to different forex rates used.

(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 52,355,679 for 37 starts in Hong Kong, 4 starts in Japan, 2 starts in UAE (Dubai), 3 starts in Singapore and 2 starts in Australia (total 48 starts) and HKD 160,256 for 3 pre import starts in Ireland for a total career earnings of HKD 52,515,959.  I have HKD 52,443,614 for those same 48 starts and 166,256 for the 3 pre import starts for  total career earnings of HKD 52,609,870 which is HKD 93,941 more.  I have estimated Hong Kong earnings on the basis that prizemoney for all group 1 races is split  1st 57.00%, 2nd 22.00%, 3rd 10.00%, 4th 5.70%, 5th 3.30%, 6th 2.00% and for all other races 1st 57.00%, 2nd 22.00%, 3rd 11.50%, 4th 6.00%, 5th 3.50%, 6th 0.00%.  My Hong Kong individual race earnings are identical with the Hong Kong earnings on punters.com.au noting that not all Hong Kong races on that website are in HKD.   My Singapore race earnings in GBP are almost the same as the GBP earnings on racingpost.com.  When comparing individual differences between racingpost.com GBP race earnings and my GBP individual race earnings I think the better view is that any difference is mostly due to differing forex rates used noting that racingpost.com did not include the first 6 Hong Kong starts where I have calculated GBP 205,275 was earned.

These lists mean nothing, unless someone has adjusted for inflation etc....a far superior horse that raced a decade before the other has no chance on these lists.
What if She Will Reign wins the Everest jackpot? Hmmmm

timw I could not disagree with you more about the Everest concept having the best 12 horses available..........it could have a field of 12 unraced horses, or maidens.........just say some multi buys all 12 slots...........total .cost 21,600,000 for 3 years.....guaranteed return $30,000,000.....Guaranteed profit $8,400,000..............then you buy 12 of the slowest horses in the country...........you can run them and collect $10mill each year with a heard of donkeys.....then send the winner to stud and Breed from it, it would be worth $30Mill as a Stallion......especially if you wait for the race to become established and get Group One status......which the big Breeders will make sure happens...........what a rort this race could be??

Now I haven't read the small print but what is to stop anyone doing that?? Now if the small print did say no individual can do that,  what if a Trainer like say David Hayes gets 12 clients together buys all 12 slots and they are a guaranteed profit of almost 50% on $20mill?? It doesn't have to have the best 12 horses.....how is Tulip better performed than a couple of the ones that missed out? If you own the slot you can run anything(and I think Tulip is huge overs and has a chance) but if it was the 12 best performed horses she would not get a Guernsey, would she?

AUSTRALASIAN THOROUGHBRED EARNINGS RECORD HOLDERS THROUGH THE AGES

Country record:
New Zealand (1887-1888):         Starts  5:  5-0-0-0

Country record:
Australia (1918-19 to 1922-23): Starts 47:  31-6-4-6 for AUD 73,982.00.
Eurythmic won 9.5 Group 1 races (retrospective).  He dead heated for first in the Perth Cup.

On 8 October 1924 Gloaming passed Eurythmic's Australasian earnings record of AUD 73,982 when Gloaming won the AJC Craven Plate at Randwick, Sydney, Australia (earning £2,354 (including breeder's premium of £150) or AUD 4,708) to take Gloaming's  career earnings to AUD 78,634.00.

Country record:
New Zealand:                     Starts  53:  48-4-0-1
Australia:                             Starts 14:  9-5-0-0

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
Phar Lap held the Australasian career earning record from 21 February 1931 to 23 October 1948 when he was passed by Shannon.

Total (1928-29 to 1931-32):  Starts 51:  37-3-2-9 for AUD 147,863.02.
Phar Lap won 11 Group 1 races (retrospective)

On 23 October 1948 Shannon passed Phar Lap's Australasian earnings record of AUD 147,132 when Shannon won the Golden Gate Hcp at Golden Gate Fields, Albany, CA, USA (earnings USD 61,000 or AUD 37,841.19) to take Shannon's  career earnings to AUD 157,814.35.
On 25 November 1948 Shannon won the San Francisco Hcp at Tanforan, San Bruno, CA, USA (earning USD 16,800 or AUD 10,421.84 to take his career earnings to AUD 169,166.71 an Australasian record.  Shannon retired after that race.

Sailor's Guide (AUS) 1952
On 11 November 1958 Sailor's Guide passed Shannon's AUD 169,476 Australasian earnings record when won the Washington DC International at Laurel, Maryland, USA (earning USD 70,000 or AUD 62,500) to take Sailor's Guide's  career earnings to AUD 194,588.00.

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.

Sailor's Guide won 4 Group 1 races (retrospective) including the Washington DC International.
Note Tulloch retired after winning the Brisbane Cup on 12 June 1967 with career earnings of AUD 220,197 which was insufficient to claim the Australasian record.

Cadiz held the Australasian career earning record from 12 July 1963 to 10 April 1976 when he was passed by Taras Bulba.
Country record:
New Zealand: Starts 24: 11-6-5-2 for £NZ 10,410 or AUD 25,899

Note neither Daryl's Joy (NZ) 1966 who earned AUD 267,704 nor Gunsynd (AUS) 1967 who earned AUD 280,455 earned enough to claim the Australasian record.

TARAS BULBA (NZ) 1971
Taras Bulba passed Cadiz on 10 April 1976 to become the Australasian career earnings record holder.
On 10 April 1976 Taras Bulba passed Cadiz AUD 284,263 Australasian earnings record when he won the AJC Chipping Norton Stakes at Warwick Farm, Sydney, Australia (earning AUD 6,500.00) taking his career earnings to AUD 289,612.00.

Fabulous list.

Some absolutely wonderful mares there. 

Wakeful is a most appropriate place to start but I would bet my boots that she surpassed LA CARABINE (Australian Cup,  Sydney Cup, 2 AJC Plates and 2 Champion Stakes) to claim the record.  Before La Carabine it is hard to say.  I am thinking BRISEIS but £3219 hardly seems enough - although there is a decided lack of champion race mares prior to the turn of the century. La Carabine is a gimme though at £9967.

Prior to Briseis I would look to BARBELLE, sister to The Barb, whose Doncaster, Sydney Cup and 3 editions of the VRC Flying Stakes would have put her up there but we would need to check on ZOE as her two Champion Sweepstakes only could have been worth £2750 and I am doubtful Barbelle earned as much.  Zoe also won a handful of 100 sovereign races which would probably take her purse to excess of Briseis.

Prior to Zoe the ancients ALICE HAWTHORN and DORA would have amassed tidy fortunes but we probably will never know with any exactitude.

I note that a Mr Duryea shipped all his US mares to France and formed a stud a Neuvy, Normanby in 1912 because of the anti-betting bill.  As a result Durbar II (1911)  was the first horse from France to win the English Derby since Gladiateur in 1865 although Durbar II did not have a drop of French blood in him..  Interestingly Durbar 11 was not classified as a thoroughbred and his 'victory (in the Derby) caused pain to purists' until 1949 when changes to the Stud Book rules regularized his position.  See  Biographical Encyclopaedia of British Flat Racing (1978) for more.
