Answer 3

First run around 1809 at Newmarket UK, the original prize money was 2,000 guineas, the race being open, as it is today, to both colts and fillies.

In 2007 a record amount of £350,000 was paid in overall prizemoney, now thats what you call inflation.  

This year the race was sponsored by Stan James and the winner, Henry the Navigator, received £212,887.50

2,000 guineas is worth £2,100 a guinea being worth £1.05 which was 21 shillings in old money.

Hope this helps....xx
