      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.

    • The issue is the way the TAB treats punters differently. The heavy restrictions stops me from making more!
    • Race 2 Result . Everyone wanted to win that race. Every driver having a go at some stage , so tyres were coming off rims and All sorts of things . Those drivers super keen to get in the action. Tim Williams does Best , even after getting posted 😳  Haley Jaccka the mare was Super tough like KINGMAN and just kept going 👍 . The Ladies team take the 8 points.  The Chief Happy to see 'Opie' Bosson riding hard and getting up for 3rd for him. ' it turned out to be a Cracker 'Opie !! like a bit of Fred Dagg lol.😂    POINTS   UPDATE   After Race 2  The Ladies  14 points ,   Brodie and Chief  both on 8 points ,    Gamma 2 pts.    The Galah and Ranga 0.
    • 2 late editions  . For team Australia in Race 3 Kyvalley Ray has Brent Lilley as Trainer. he's An ex-pat kiwi , but he's been based in Victoria for nearly all this century , so we'll call him an Aussie and get his horse in Team Gamma 😁🍻🇦🇺   For the Ladies team in Race 7 . young Crystal Hackett has a mare in that's come all the way from Auckland , so better pop it in a team . a horse called COURMAYEUR . hope it Wins for Crystal .  
    • Race 1 Result. Brodie shows them how its done with a Storming win with his TACTICAL BID 1st in the opener. The Ladies are 2nd with Judy J, Chief up the fence for 3rd , and Andy Hall gets 4th for the Aussie driver for Gamma .  near $6000 for that rough tipsters First 4 lol 😎 The Galah dropped away with the favourite of Mark Purdons to get nothing (a bit surprisingly)  POINTS   After Race 1   Brodie   8 points,   The ladies  6 pts,   Chief  4 pts,    Gamma 2 pts.    The Galah and Ranga 0.  
    • can you believe that start. 2 horses wiped out a good 50m before the start and no false start. Whats going on with the starter?
    • "promotions manager" "marketing manager",  in the modern area, many have steeped up! and most quickly move on, especially so at the local club down here...
    • The oldest living GI Belmont Stakes winner, Touch Gold (Deputy Minister), has passed away at Old Friends Farm in Georgetown, Kentucky, according to a post on X from the retirement home late on Thursday. The message said, “We are devastated to share the passing of Touch Gold, the 1997 Belmont Stakes winner, who succumbed to the infirmities of old age at 31. Tough, intelligent, determined, and courageous, he embodied the very spirit of a champion on the track and in retirement.” Touch Gold won six of 15 starts for $1,679,907 in earnings. As a stallion his 29 stakes winners and 67 stakes performers include four Grade I winners–including Old Friends's Seek Gold. The post Belmont Winner Touch Gold Passes At 31 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions. View the full article
