15 commentsToday we have seen the only remaining truly independent racing industry publication "hang the bridle on the wall." The Informant has ceased to publish.
Why?
In my opinion the blame lies firmly at the feet of the NZRB. Over the next few days BOAY will be asking some very pertinent questions to those in charge.
For example:
How much is the NZRB funded Best Bets costing the industry? Does it make a profit? What is its circulation? 800? Or more? Does the Best Bets pay for its form feeds? Was The Informant given the same deal?
How much does the industry fund the NZ Racing Desk for its banal follow the corporate line journalism?
Why were the "manager's at the door" when Dennis Ryan was talking to Peter Early?
Where are the NZ TAB turnover figures?
The Informant may be gone for the moment but the industry must continue to ask the hard questions.

Just had a look myself at the run. I thought it was pretty good. I'd be happy with that if she were mine. -

No not at all. But she seems to have come back better this time in compared to last time. OZ Grp 3 black type boosts her residual value. She improves during a prep and Te Akau will have a decent race in mind for her over there. I thought her run was good today. Not sure Willo is the most suitable jockey for her. I saw her lift towards the end of todays race but the race was over. -
I wouldn't know. Don't really follow Oz racing that closely but like to hear how kiwi horses are doing over there. Do you know, or what do you think, or are you saying that 2 G3 placings is it?

How about 1880m at Kangaroo Island today… running for $46 k. Also races Rosehill & Doomben, lets be honest, try another track as obviously its battling at Caulfield -
No need to be nasty, just asking a question.

At an asking price of $32 million, there has been some interest from overseas studs but It is my understanding no ink has been sighted on paper. There has been suggestions of a large Auckland developer doing a heap of due diligence including discussions with Council about zoning changes from currently allowable lifestyle blocks to medium and high density housing. But my money is on it being sold to one of the large power companies who can then utilise the existing pylons running through the property to build a solar farm, And won't that upset the locals big time !!! -

She isn't that far away. Go back and have a look at her run in the 1000 Guineas. She's improved a lot since then and has been running similar sectionals. Your opinion? -

Luck hasn’t been on David Eustace’s side much recently, but the British handler is keen on a change of fortune when he starts luckless last-start runner-up Colourful King at Sha Tin on Sunday. Eustace added to his frustrating haul of second placings this season when Majestic Delight and Glorious Success were narrowly beaten on Thursday, before Riding Together gave him a much-needed winner with an upset victory in the final race. Colourful King was another of the handler’s 27 seconds this term on...View the full article -

I did answer it. Obviously Waldorf and Statler are not talking to you. Your opinion? Or will you wait for instructions? PS: you might want to let Waldorf know that he has his analysis of todays Group winners way wrong. For example Streisand was purchased for AUD$100k and Cinsault is a Goldophin bred horse. Hardly homebred.
