NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS AND TRAINERS

RE: CENTRALISED PRIZEMONEY

 

As of Tuesday, 1 July 2003 the Greyhound Racing Authority will assume the responsibility for the payment of prizemoney on behalf of all Greyhound Racing Clubs in Queensland. The method of payment will be by Electronic Funds Transfer only to a nominated bank account.

 

Prizemoney will continue to be paid “to the trainer acting as agent for the owner, unless the owner specifically requests in writing to the Authority that prizemoney is paid to him/her.”

 

Kennel information for greyhounds leaving or entering your kennels is compulsory and facilitates the payment of prizemoney to the correct person.

 

Prizemoney payments up to $5,000 (five thousand dollars) will be made on the Monday of each week for the preceding week’s racing (Monday to Sunday) regardless of whether the greyhound has been swabbed. If a greyhound has been swabbed and the prizemoney is $5,000 (five thousand dollars) or more the payment will be made once the swab has been cleared.

 

For all payments either a Recipient Created Tax Invoice or an Invoice/Statement will be mailed detailing date, track, greyhound’s name and amount deposited.
