Home and Away Trainer Fee Announcement
As announced by Greyhound Racing SA Limited (GRSA) on 23rd February 2021 a Home and Away Trainer Fee scheme is being implemented from 1st April 2021 in order to encourage strong nomination activity throughout the period of the Angle Park Track Works Project. Any participant that travels to a regional track not designated as their “home” track will be paid an additional $100 above their usual $50 for attending a GRSA race meeting.
Using the current residential postcode listed for each participant in OzChase, GRSA has determined home tracks based on the closest track by distance. For the sake of clarity; Angle Park will not be designated as the home track for any participant. A list of postcodes, home tracks and the fee structure follows below:
Participants should review the list above which will be used to determine how much is paid for each race meeting attendance.
GRSA acknowledges that it may be that geographical distance is not the best measure to determine a participant’s home track in every circumstance. Anyone that feels they’ve been allocated the wrong home track is encouraged to contact GRSA and apply to have their home track denomination changed.
GRSA will consider each application on its merits and would likely defer to the participant’s view where they can show their recent pattern of racing strongly indicates a different home track than has been allocated.
Participants are also advised that the Remote Area Trainer Fee of $75 per race meeting will continue to be paid on top of the fees outlined above, provided they continue to be located more than 150 kilometres from their nearest GRSA track.
Applications to change the home track denomination can be made by telephone by contacting Carolyn Webster who can be reached on the main reception line on 8243 7100.
