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.

One reality of that, as we become more 'Americanized', in what we watch, as in MLB NFL NBL NHL. "Internationalized' as in all the different World Cups!!! etc etc,,, I know that personally if I was 'needing' to punt for a living! 1000% I would stay away from 'racing'. That has shown in my betting for over 5 years now! Specializing on MLB, for two reasons! I enjoy watching it! And as a punter I can access the quality info that I need so easily! Of course, having said the above, I also would be seriously focusing on options for betting elsewhere! Feck the current monopoly I say! -
Why is sports betting growing and not racing then? -
What about that race. Brother Rob runs 2nd after being about 6 lengths behind the others at start,then sat parked all way and may have won but for going rough early in the home straight. If you watched that horses last 3 trial/workout runs in the last month,it had dropped out by 200m each time,couldn't leep warm.A bit of an improvement shown today. -
personally i prefer b orange,but dalgety and dunn always give you a run for your money. S thornley,s ottley are like that. Lots of good canterbury drivers. Thats why the racing in canterbury is a better product,because the races are more competitive and they to win.

John Dunn and Carter Dalgety are hands and heels above the others. They drive with a lot of aggression these days , and like the best Aussie drivers, sure aren't scared to work their horses early , and are often on the move Mid-race to apply pressure up front . Time and time again they pull off a victory with the great proactive driving. yes . sometimes they get caught out and drop away. But when you look what is happening with GOT THE CHOCOLATES and REPUBLICAN PARTY , they have developed in to 2 of the hardest to beat horses in the country , because of being driven boldly , and are winning some BIG ones. Marketplace still doing well though , and we've had discussion before about him getting beat with very cold drives , so is good to see the NZ Derby Winner driven with more 'Gusto' lately , and rightly getting the Big Derby Win . -
actually i just posted the same gamma without seeing your post about the next n williamson drive in race 3. i get what your saying about putting $5000 on a non win trotter.That person will never get their money back as they will make it a $1.80 favorite next time and it may not win. But having watched the race today,the punter did actually get it right.It really only had to be let run and it would have won,but that happens sometimes and its just part of gambling on the trots. No ill intent,just the drivers and trainers sometimes are thinking of their horses long term earning potential and getting their confidence up.Of course if it was the anyone connected with the horse who put the $5000 on then they would be feeling a bit sick after the race.

I've always thought the canterbury drivers who drive a lot of grass tracks seem better than the average southern driving on grass tracks,simply because they like to get handy. race 3 another examlpe of that.N williamson,who is normally a very good driver,again waited 200m into the straight before pulling out when 6 lengths off the leaders. A canterbury driver would have been getting their momentum up well before that.You wouldn't expect them to go all out when they make a move,but you would think they would be trying to position there horses in a position to give them a chance.They should know its hard to make up 6 lengths in the last 200m of any race.no matter what the track.

Most punters that you make your money out of are not as disciplined as you are hence you make money out of them. They bet on all three race codes one after the other. -
wow , that's a crazy bet on a 6 start maiden trotter. $5000 ? sanity is gone in NZ for some ? lol. 😉 Best thing to do would be tell them just have $50 on like you and I would, and live without misery 🤣. and just enjoy the racing lol. Must say Nathan Williamson did the same in race 3 as well. took far too long to get HILLARY up and running. She came home well but he gave it NO chance to get there. Nathan is well down on driving form lately. wouldn't touch a thing he drives. 'Hillary' is 8 year old as well. (9 next month) so is running out of time to break maidens ranks ? 😂🤣😁
