"Pony" is indeed London slang, Chris, but for nothing connected with cash.
Perhaps I only need clarify that it's rhyming slang, and (as is normal with
rhyming slang) the full rhymed phrase is not articulated. But since you
insist, the full phrase is "pony and trap". Let's leave it there, without
going into the details of a 'big pony'...
But have a free flight in KA114 here:

It would be a big pony, I think. And that's a bit of London slang is it
not? A pony is a large amount of money, I think.
