Where can I find purse structures for international thoroughbred horse racing tracks around the world?

Question

The Thoroughbred Record of Lexington, Kentucky used to offer a statistical review each year but I believe they stopped publishing it in the 90's.

If I could just find a complete listing of purse structures of individual tracks or at the very least a description of common purse amounts for different countries (United States, England, Australia, etc) that would be helpful.

Answer 1

In GB prize money levels are dictated by the British Horseracing Authority.  They set out a list of minimum values for each type of race and the courses cannot run below these levels.  In most cases they run above the minimum levels by using sponsorship.

I cannot find you a link to these minimum values, but they are out there somewhere!  I have a hard copy on my desk at work!

Can't help you with other countries, sorry.
