A shilling was a 20th of a pound, or 12 pence (240 pence in a pound). At decimalisation 1 pound was 2 dollars. So 2 shillings would be 20c at decimalisation… where are you getting 50c.

As long as you don’t mind eating around the whip marks where the jockey was hitting it
2 shillings does not equal 50 cents.
