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.

Mustve been a bit of last minute $. waste of time having tote pools with this amount of wagering surely? Restrictions on some punters and not others is acknowledging that the Bookies do not play fairly when treating individuals differently. They put up the odds but arent prepared to take the punters on?

It really is a matter of getting your races accepted as prestigious enough to be accepted by HKJC who run the World Pool. Probably the reason why they switched the Railway, being a G1 to KM day. Unsure whether the World pool applies to the entire meeting or just specific races. Someone else will know -

I don’t disagree with you but the pool was about $1300 and I’m sure most people like the Broadster tend to take fixed odds these days (assuming the don’t have heavy restrictions like the Broadster). -
The trouble is, they make a lot of noise, and they try 50 times harder than the average racing person that posts on social media, so they give the false impression of the industry. Look at Wightman, he is absolutely convinced that he speaks for most of the industry and that most of the industry is behind him. Trouble is he persists with this rhetoric ad nauseum and many just let him run freely at the mouth because he simply overpowers them.

How often do we bet into the world pool in Nz? Is our tote the world pool for every Hong Kong meeting? I know there are different minimum % bets on Hong Kong compared to other meetings with these tab. -
You are correct in both of what you said lol Probably no point continuing to comment on how they are operating currently but one day it might dawn on them that Brodie “is totally on the money” or “in the money”

Do we still have commingling....some of those tote win pools yesterday at Ellerslie topped a million and the others were better than normal too, those figures can't just be for bets placed in NZ alone or are they?
