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.

bitterly cold up there . 7 degrees today in Stockholm but just 0 night and day from Saturday . Canada will host the next World Drivers Championship in 2027. Bitterly cold most of year there too. They often race the trots while it's snowing on them when you see the pictures from Woodbine Ontario on Sky. Better send a driver from Southland ? maybe a Williamson or something next time for NZ. Aus hasn't got anyone that would/will cope at all lol 😆 -
My thoughts on the Cup 5 or 6 win unless, 5 or 6 cancel each other out and a swooper downs both, its possible but more likely to not happen than likely 🤠 -
A rather significant day on Sunday, horse racing returning to Hawkes Bay😎

how good ! has she been at the beach at Woodend swimming and that ? What a terrific win the other day at Riccarton. I did see the race , and very embarrassed to say was putting Churchillian in as my Comp picks in the forums . And rightly got a good slap in the face from 'Captured By Love' for doing so lol. 😁' she's a beauty. meanwhile Bold Medley Jujon at least got a little Slap in the face for trying to run 1.50 again too last Sat. 🤣 The Champion Pete mcMullen slapped him with a 1.49.3 to put him back to 2nd place . FFA speed. Pete McMullen is in Christchurch today Chief with GUS in the Big trot today. I Hope for the Win too. Getting trotting going here in Queensland was part of my life accomplishments i'm very very proud of. GUS has a big job to try and down the best trotters of New Zealand , but give him some 'McShane' vibes for an upset . and we'll be smiling.

Got to spare a thought for the 2 drivers from Scandinavia, back to winter soon.

Congratulations to James MacDonald (Canada) 🍻🇨🇦 The new World Driving Champion of the world. a fantastic effort . and did drive supurbly well throughout the series. The Canada races you see on 'Sky' from time to time are actually very good quality. with nice Pacers and trotters. The Europeans weren't the greatest with the pacers in this series which is understandable as they drive nearly 100% trotters. The vastly experienced Gary Hall Jnr 🇦🇺 for Australia, able to cope very well and ran a fine second for this World Championship driving some great races . congrats to All the participants for a great show !! especially JMac with the win 👍🏆🇨🇦

There you go feeding @the galah 's PED conspiracy right on queue. Did you notice the Woodend "magic" worked a treat with Captured By Love. From what I'm told she found the horses pulling carts quite fascinating. -

Is Dixon a "handy trainer" or is Leap to Fame a super champion?
