We hold the total fund for the Lamplighter Stakes and no separate winner's cheque. What the winner takes is a rule the racecourse sets rather than a national one, and it varies race by race.
Run in 1:42.80 in 2017, the Lamplighter Stakes pays $584 for every second of the race, which is 531st of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 197th in the United States.
