The mega money is actually the minimum for a Group 1 race at this year's event - meaning other races will see even higher cash prizes.

While the jockey who guides their horse over the line first will earn between eight and nine per cent of the money for their efforts.

The Gold Cup will take place on the third day of Royal Ascot, which runs from June 18 to June 22.
That means the highly anticipated race will take place on Thursday, June 20.
The race will start at 4:25pm BST.
