There are a lot of things that Victoria could learn from WA, Dot. I lived there for 11 years (and trained for 8 of them) and still keep comparing the two. I don't know how things have changed over there but, for example, just a simple thing of how the accounts work... In WA owner/trainer had one account and when you earned prize money, all costs were deducted from that account and then you either got paid or you got an invoice to pay. Over to Vic and you get a separate account for every horse you own/lease if your ownership group is different... Even if you are the managing owner for every one of them and the bank account details for all of them are the same. And then you get another account as a trainer and they can't even take the $5 trainer's fee (which didn't exist in WA ) from the money paid to you. Apparently it is impossible to combine everything - go figure how they managed to do that in WA over a decade ago! So, in the end you might get a statement which says you've been paid $X amount and in the same email another one which says you owe $5...
