Top Money winners through 1920

[Calzone Lord]

This lists the record of the top 6 money winning horses through the year 1920 of America, England, and Australia.

It's amazing how certain years the purses in the US were gigantic ... and in other years ... everyone was pretty much running for peanuts by comparison.

Obviously some form of gambling reform took place in the USA between the late 00's through the mid 10's... because purses dropped off sharply for a period. The real money in the US was in 2-year-old racing at the time... where England was obviously 3-year-old racing.
