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.

Is “Out The Gate” bring dropped permanently or just over Xmas New Year? Hopefully it is permanently but is it due to them finally making money? Lol The idea is possibly ok but the way they operate on the Thursday night is poorly executed! They mainly punt on the greyhounds Same race multi this, multi this, blah blah blah! They are allowed to wager whatever they want with no restrictions which is in contrast to the some of the genuine loyal punters of the TAB! If these employees are allowed to punt with no restrictions then it has to be the same for all punters! wonder whether it has attracted any new punters or turned off existing punters from watching? They be stuffed once the Greyhounds in NZ are terminated.

Pretty slick Green Mile . 1.55 and a bit. Gerard should give Mick Boots a ring as he will smiling after some more Big recent wins , and loves buying the NZ horses . could get $250k for her ? Esmeralda could be the TOP mare in Australasia in the right hands . and win all the Big Mares races through 2026. worth near a million dollars of races. Pushing for Auckland Cup now, and that against the boys a big ask for a 16 start horse. probably not the best idea as could flatten her a bit -

I have to admit a soft spot for that club! when I first started to drive the camera on course, early 80;s, this Club was batting on the front foot! Bayer Classic Day, Brilliant to be oncourse! 81-91 Some top winners.. Bonecrusher and J Cassidy (over from NSW). A great result was had when M Lyndon so out rode them to win on The Bishop! One could wax lyrical,,, Come in @TAB For Ever on the 'realpolitik', interesting to see if that are any Lawyers out there in support of the Club and others in a simile position? -
Just tuning in for the Green Mile , and see Carter has Won another race today of the championship . (no surprises there) Has he nailed the Championship then ? The Brodster will be proud if he can do it. 👍 A great driver in 90% of his drives so hope he wins the day ok. 🏆

John Allen was appointed by the old regime that ran things like an aged Government Department. John Allen was ex-CEO of NZ Post and MFAT. Arguably he was average in both those roles. He knew ZERO about wagering. Andrew Vouris has been appointed by the board of a public company - ENTAIN. He has over 17 years working for TABCorp and ENTAIN in believe it or not manageing a gambling company! Before that he started his career as an accountant and senior manager in very successful Australian firms. More importantly he reports to Senior Management and the Board of a publicly listed company that is in the FTSE 100 on the London Stock Exchange. They will demand accountability and results. What's Out The Gate got to do with it? Look at Gambling Harm rules like Alcohol Serving rules. If you give away free alcohol or offer too many incentives to encourage more drinking of your product then you fall foul of the law. The same applies to Gambling. Some people don't have the constraint nor the skill (apparently) to turn a freebie into a profit albeit one at a reduced margin. -
