We hold the total fund for the Toronto Cup 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 1:48.07 in 2018, the Toronto Cup Stakes pays £745 for every second of the race, which is 407th of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 11th in Canada.
