      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.

    • i was listening to trackside today and they spoke a lot about the life of a man called gary williams who had died and some of the things they said about him sounded similar to what tab man has told us about himself. So i googled gary williams auckland harness racing and it came up with an obituary on hrnz which when i read it,had even read  more similarities. if he is the same fella,then i'm sure we will all be saddened. i do hope he makes a reappearance on here,but maybe someone may know whether hes the same man we  often debate . its one of those things ,when you contribute to a site like this. You can tell so much about how the person you discuss things with,without actually knowing who they actually are. i had recently been wondering what had happened to the man who called himself walt ,as he discussed he had health issues at one point and we haven't heard anything from him foer a while.i hope hes doing ok.

    • Saturday’s 10-race card at Sha Tin is headlined by a competitive Class Two Lukfook Jewellery Cup (1,200m), while the battle between champion jockeys Zac Purton and James McDonald is sure to be another highlight. Jay Rooney is in the hot seat to provide an extended rundown of his selections. Race 1 – Class Four Lukfook Jewellery Hexicon Handicap (1,200m) Georgian Sigma comes off an impressive second on debut, in which he was carried out just before the turn by eventual winner Ever Luck and fired...View the full article
    • they are going spot on terrific too.  Be interesting to see if you're right (and Ferguson does take a sit) in the NZ Derby that will be on soon. The Classic Blue Riband race will be the Ultimate Show-down between the 2 .  maybe in 2 weeks time ? 
    • the double Interdominion Champion salutes . Leap To Fame burns up the 2 Best horses of Nz , to make up for his narrow NZ Cup defeat.  The Queensland superstar sends Gamma back to the lead in the BOAY Showday challenge with the amazing day recorded by the Team Australia today.  Ranga has a chance with ARTHUR SHELBY to take the challenge out still 😉 , with one race to go.   POINTS   UPDATE   After Race 12    The NZ FFA for superstars  Gamma  44 points,  RangaTira  38 points,   Ladies Team  34pts ,  Chief 26 pts ,    Brodie  20pts,   Galah  14pts,
    • Brodie did make the statement earlier in the year that he thought that Got The Chocolates had been going bigger races than Market Place. Taking nothing away from Market Place either, but I believe that Ferguson should be driving Market Place with a sit!
