THE Irish Stablestaff Association has issued a reminder to trainers and stable staff over prize money dividends.

A spokesman said: “Pool money is a percentage of the owners’ prize money. It is for stable staff only and each yard has its own arrangements as to how it is divided and that list must be displayed in the yard - not in the trainer’s office.

“Trainers have no right to decide who gets the pool money, nor have they any right to take a share, as they get their own percentage of prize money. Stable staff can ring the Turf Club to check the amounts of pool money sent out to their employer.

“Pool money is paid every third month. Stable staff who believe they are not getting their share are welcome to call the ISA on 086 2653455.”
