      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.

    • Was it actually or did they mathematically calculate it?  What is the average length of a horse that they use?  
    • 3 maybe 4 of those that are classified as injured won't be back.  At least one has retired. LOL and you wonder why they don't count ALL the whip strikes or are harsher on other misdemeanours!
    • Old? It was verified in that race wasn't it? Canheroc was beaten 7.4l and 1.2 secs. Doubt that had much to do with the 6kg weight difference though.  
    • Has anyone else had trouble getting the Sunday Surge offer of $4 on Dealt With (Currently at $2.30)? They must be banning $1 each way punters!

    • Blah blah blah.  The old 1 second equals 6 length theory.... What about the theory that it is harder to carry 59kg over 2400m than over 1400m? Oh great form guru - how many Caulfield Cups have been won quicker than the Waikato Cup was run yesterday? They ran 2:35.8 for the Pakenham Cup yesterday over 2500m.  S 'N' S would have won it by 18 lengths! If you don't think the performance yesterday was a top one then keep looking for excuses for your betting strategies!
    • Coming off a fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1), Litmus Test defeated stablemates Blacksmith and Provenance in the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) for a Bob Baffert-trained trifecta.View the full article
    • Thats over 7 1/2 Lengths Does 6kgs = 7 1/2? #yeana
