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.

I have read where Entain is cutting costs like laying off many staff in Australasia, Reality I dont believe has hit home at any stage with HRNZ that their woeful handling of the Entain cash splash is going to be a nail in the coffin of harness racing in many parts of NZ! Just do not get it that these people on big salaries at the TAB and HRNZ are just not intelligent enough to acknowledge that they have stuffed up! Anyway not happy that some of us are going to be proven right when Entain does pull the pin on all this funding as it will affect so many in the industry hugely. Not sure it is a particularly financially sound idea to be breeding standardbreds this year, as by the time they are old enough to race they will be racing for significantly lower stakes unfortunately. The Entain deal has been mishandled shockingly and we have been telling them this for a long time, but then we arent on the pay roll on big salaries and trying to make things look better than they actually are! -

Any idea what year? I lived next door to that building in 78/79! #58, we often fired skyrockets at that building.. -

It can be done, as I said NZB Filly of the Year, Leica Lucy cost the Crofskey's $5,000 to breed, the cost of the service to Derryn. Before that 2013 Derby winner Habibi cost $15,000, Ekraar's service fee

Ben has always been very good with the media from a young age. He is a very nice, hardworking and realistic bloke that is doing a great job training with his parents! Personally believe we need plenty more Ben Hope’s coming through into harness racing, otherwise we are in big trouble.

I don't think he was banned, just couldn't be bothered with the usual social media nonsense so took his leave and never returned
