I have never in my forty years as a licenced person ( got my permit on my sixteenth birthday Feb 1974) seen one solitary instance of a consolation having less prizmoney for the winner than the unplaced runners in the final, mate that sort of mentality is breaking new ground.
Spare a thought for the not quite so lucky, they have contributed just as much as the fortunate.
