We hold the total fund for the Mohawk Gold Cup 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 1:47.80 in 2025, the Mohawk Gold Cup pays £498 for every second of the race, which is 502nd of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 21st in Canada.
