I've lost 10 grand in the last seven months and now looking for job to settle their debts.
I can't believe i'm in this positon,I got a million plus dollar property and can't make a living anymore.I blame RWWA for this situation, they have taken a profession and deregulated it to a hobby.

racing industry related payments and indebtedness is not confined to owners...it is widespread in this industry - there is no simple answer that will achive eutopia:
but really are you serious when you say :
- Wyer 's suggestion of :
The there is MSF's :
" average vet and farrier bills " - sort of a Medicare levy - - wow that is a good one - is there such a thing as an "average vet bill"?
and basically an owner is "licensed" when they sign a registration or lease , they are bound by the rules.
i heard Hong Kong had a good system??
This has always been a problem and the authorities should get involved to protect the industry in my opinion.
I know of one trainer who stipulates to the owner when he take on a horse that if the account is more than 30 days overdue the horse will not trial or race until the account is settled and I feel that is fair on both parties.

Basically if you manage your business properly you stop the rot a long time before it gets to this point..If you manage your business poorly, then you suffer these sort of consequences..

maybe not but they are running a business and as stated in the above some of these guys are going broke that's not fair either
i think a "good" horse is an entirely different kettle of fish, he would be paying for himself.
what we are talking about is the poor to mediocre horse. we all know what its like to fork out every month for no return, BUT, that was the risk we took. now we have to honour that risk, deliberate non-payment can affect many people, the trainers, the feed merchants, vets, farriers, transport etc etc
it is very selfish to keep the trainer swinging in the breeze...personally, i'd name and shame after giving them ample warning.

quite right falcon but you still need to get the money out of the owners even if the horse is a good one , getting up at 3am to train a clients horse and not get paid is a bit of b/s
