Irish race prize money : convert euros to £s

For races run in Ireland during 2009 in a Tote Ten To Follow competition, divide the number of euros by 1.03 to convert Irish prize money (in euros) to pounds sterling, and hence to points in the TTF competition.  The 1.03 divisor applies only for competition races run in 2009.  The divisor for next year will be added here sometime in January 2010.  The divisors for past years, for the record, are given further down.

You can do the calculation on your computer screen by using the computer's built-in calculator:  in Windows, you will find it under Start > Programs > Accessories > Calculator.

Extra points in the competition are earned if a winner's Tote dividend is 4.00 or more (see competition rules for the exact amounts).  Irish Tote dividends are declared to a one unit stake - the same as for UK Tote dividends.

Euro conversions in the competition are carried out by using a flat rate which is fixed by the BHB each January to be applied for the whole year, Flat or Jumps.  For 2008, the rate was e1.36 to £1 (i.e. divide the number of Es by 1.36 to convert).  For 2007 it was e1.48 to £1 (divide Es by 1.48).  For 2006, it was e1.45 to £1 (divide Es by 1.45).

If, for any reason, you need to know what the real, current conversion is for any kind of currency (euros, dollars etc.) in any other kind of currency, click the 'Convert any sum' link at the bottom of this popup window.  It would be a good idea to add the ensuing calculation page to your Bookmarks or Favorites.  It will then be readily available to you for future use (e.g. if going on holiday, or estimating the cost of something you intend to buy over the internet from abroad).

When you click the 'Convert' link below, it may take a few seconds for the calculation to come through as the converter is the 3rd-party resource is busy at times.  The window containing the calculation result is expandable if you find you can't see everything.  If the 'Convert' link below doesn't work for you, that will probably mean you have disabled JavaScript in your browser or firewall for security reasons.  In that event, you will need to enable JavaScript temporarily while you do the calculation and then disable it again afterwards.

If you need to do more than one calculation using the converter, when you see the window showing the first conversion result, right-click anywhere on that window and, from the context menu that pops up, choose the 'Back' option.  You will then be able to start another calculation.
