      Today 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.

    • Like many young athletes, Holy Bull Stakes (G3) winner Nearly's introduction to sports was playing soccer in his field at Wind Hill Farm, adding to the agility and athleticism that has placed him on the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail.View the full article
    • And the reality is, the money they race for ain't bad but why Cambridge Wednesday, Auckland Friday, ?
    • You are wasting your time commenting Galah! It just falls on deaf ears and they have got plenty of $ to splash around when it isnt their own! At the end of the day Gamma is probably correct, that the owners and trainers take it while it is being offered! I still believe that many think that it is going to continue like it currently is, but I can see it going into statutory management in the future due to mismanagement. With respect anyone with any semblance of business acumen, csn see the writing on the wall but anyway punters need to make hay while they can lol
    • Not that bad, not one nomination for the 2year old male pace for $17k! HRNZ really need to pull their head out of the sand and stop denying the actual reality of what is happening? If they dont then things are going to get very dire! We need A spokesman for HRNZ to start conversing with the public as to how they think they can continue when the cash is all gooooone!    
    • Frankie Dettori notched an emotional winner on his final day as a jockey in Rio de Janeiro Feb. 1—and then made a great day even better by claiming the first leg of Brazil's Triple Crown.View the full article
    • i wonder how many they will get niminated for the southland 2 year old race. My guess is 0. we will see soon.
    • i see hrnz will take some comfort that numbers being nominated have increased for this weeks 3 x 2 year old races. this week they have a total of 10 nominations for the 3 races. 6 in the fillies race at auckland,0 in the colts and geldings race at auckland and 4 for the combined,colts,geldings and fillies race at addington. things are definitely on the up.
    • Just a normal open handicap.
    • Jockey Junior Alvarado, regular rider for 2025 Horse of the Year Sovereignty, is expected to return to action Feb. 5 at Gulfstream Park after being shaken up late on Saturday's Holy Bull (G3) program.View the full article
