I think this is why a lot of your better dogs do come to the mainland!! A grade 5 is worth what, about $1200 at Hobart which is considered a Metro track and a G5 in the bush in Vic is worth $1050 and over $4000 in town(2nd is around the $1200 mark)!! I'm sure as hell your paying just as much or more for Petrol, Meat and Kibble etc and I'm also sure you betting turnover isn't that far off Vic tracks. Sounds like you are due for a payrise!!!!
