      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 beautifully-bred PARADISE (f, 3, Gun Runner–Venetian Harbor, by Munnings) picked up her first points towards the Road to the Kentucky Oaks Saturday with a win over a small field in the Busher Stakes at Aqueduct. Facing just four rivals, the filly exited a maiden win going this same one-mile distance at Gulfstream Park Jan. 4 before shipping to New York for her stakes debut. Jockey Manny Franco kept his filly in third for most of the running and under a tight hold as Current Yield (Nyquist) and Interstatelovesong (Bolt d'Oro) carved out the fractions up the backstretch. Unleashed to come wide around that pair turning for home, the 6-5 favorite made easy work of that duo, earning the advantage at the eighth pole and striding out nicely to pick up the win. Nycon (Nyquist) put in an eye-catching late run to steal second from Interstatelovesong. The final time was 1:38.53. With the win, Paradise earned 37.5 points due to the five-horse field. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0. O-NK Racing and LNJ Foxwoods; B-Ciaglia Racing, LLC, HNDEH & Domenic Savides; T-Brad Cox. Sales History: $700,000 ylg '24 FTSAUG.   The post Paradise Earns Oaks Points In The Busher appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • 2nd-Gulfstream, $68,000, Msw, 2-28, 3yo, 6f, 1:10.44, ft, 2 1/2 lengths. LINCOLN'S LAW (c, 3, Liam's Map–Bernadreamy, by Bernardini), a half-brother to Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie), MGISW, $817,875, was overlooked at 6-1 for this debut run. Not off to the greatest of beginnings, he was ridden from his outside draw to press the early leaders from third through an opening quarter in :22.34. He ranged up three deep at the quarter pole and took over in the stretch to win going away by 2 1/2 lengths over favored Quentin B (Promises Fulfilled). The winning mare Bernadreamy, just a $40,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by Rigney Racing, produced a Nyquist filly this year. The Liam's Map x Bernardini cross is also responsible for GISWs Colonel Liam and Wicked Whisper. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $40,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
