HORSE RACING · 611 RACES

Horse racing prize money per second

Run all 611 races back to back and the whole £245.5m is handed over inside 19 hours 24 minutes. The Everest pays £152,894 for every second of it.

Every race here is ranked by its purse divided by its most recent winning time. The order is not the purse order: a sprint that pays well climbs past longer races that pay more, and the jumps races that take six and seven minutes to run fall to the bottom.
