The streamlined race day pay-up scheme, which was approved by the Queensland Racing Committee in 2000, essentially involves simplifying the transactions associated with nominating and starting a horse in this State. It was introduced on 1 July 2001 in conjunction with the development of Queensland Racing's centralised prizemoney payment system. It means that trainers and owners are no longer invoiced for nomination and acceptance fees, riding fees and jockey Workcover fees.

A standard starters fee of $225 + GST fro metropolitan racing and $173 + GSt for all other levels of racing will be charged to the owners of starters placing 1st to 4th at TAB events or 1st to 3rd at Non TAB, respectively. The trainers of horses that do not feature in the first three placings at Non-TAB events will be charged a starters fee that is dependent on the location of the club.

Significantly, there are no charges levied on the owners and trainers of horses placed 5th or below at TAB events.
