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 agree that weavers horses have always gone ok and are consistent enough.No champs,but good enough to keep going and earn a few dollars and have a bit of fun type horses.Hes had the odd nice horse,i remember ultimate desire was a nice mare for him not that many years ago. i just had a look and hes trained 121 winners so he knows what hes doing. your right about grass tracks being a levelller,i think part of that is getting onto the inside and handy seems to help some horses more on grass. it was an improvement in form,no doubt about it,and its natural to be curious about what house had done with the horse in the couple of weeks he had it. It should be able to win again once it gets to run in similar fields.Yesterdays race wasn't an over strong form race and jumping 5 rating points means it will be in tougher races in the short term. -
I reckon she is a good Vet🫣. Plenty of form reversals with this trainer, from battling nags. I suppose as a punter, we all are wary of any stable change, especially those that go to the beach and start fav next start…. for myself, i stay well clear of those having first start at another stable, usually saved me 💰 -
I would agree with that. The best option is to test it out on a subject you know well. When it is wrong though, challenge it and it will auto correct -

I do often but you are so bitter sucking lemons all day you have lost any ability to comprehend. -
So basically go back to country racing? You can't make this up! -
No I'm well aware you don't like explaining yourself. At this point in time I don't think either can be claimed to be a bargain, SOS has started off promising , Noverre lets see.

Definitely need to include less formal areas. I've spoken to the odd lawyer who can't wait to ditch the suit and tie as a dressed up day at the races feels like a workplace uniform. Otaki and Trentham utilise food trucks. You need to have a decent amount of cash on hand though because that food is not cheap. Again I'm really keen on as much of the hospo being pre-paid so money in the wallet is for betting. If food trucks are used instead of oncourse catering work out a system whereby tokens can be exchanged for food. It's all doable. I think Otaki and Tauherenikau have sizeable ovens. The committee at the latter definitely cook up fresh food throughout the day. I haven't been to a hangi fundraiser yet where the food is properly cooked but, Otaki would be the obvious venue for this food type. Something a little different, and authentic. -
