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.

Once they would just be non totes for a minimal stake, if anything, but hey nice work for the early birds. I also note they have extended noms for Amberley cup, w at present, I think Horarata might get a few.

Maybe if the likes of Wyndham are going to put 50 grand for the kindergarten maybe race in October or something, might clash with other races but just forget 2yo racing until autumn, starting slowly and building., a 2yo in march is still a 2 year old in October so just put things back a while, I can't see what good Wyndham get from it's richest race having 6 starters and all usually from Canterbury, what's the point?

4 horse 2 year old race at Addington Thursday nite for $12k? Yes you can say it is February and we need 2 year old racing, but seriously how can they think that this is not ridiculous as it is just a continuation of losses for HRNZ? Why $12k for 4 horses???? Give them a 12k bonus as well as plenty of Entain money still! -

@nomates aka Scott and @Joe Bloggs aka Marsh must rank alongside that guy from Canterbury as the most bitter misinformed individuals in racing. They don't have the balls to name who they think they are talking about but readily put the boot in when they can. They have their latest story so wrong it is laughable. Amazing what the @Comic Dog lets posters away with and he expects industry leaders to post on his site!!! Joke! I'd be disappointed if they do. As for rotten fish Farnakler aka @Joe Bloggs you'd be only too familiar with that. -
Correct the ratings band system does not work! Most races has such a wide range so pointless when there is often 20 points difference? They definitely need another brainstorming system and debate about the way things are tracking!
-
Every race or many races you see a wide band in the ratings just to get starters, rating 41s racing rating 50s, then FFAlls rating 62, racing rating 80s 90s or whatever, it's a mess. The old system while not perfect you know where you stood.

Like many young athletes, Holy Bull Stakes (G3) winner Nearly's introduction to sports was playing soccer in his field at Wind Hill Farm, adding to the agility and athleticism that has placed him on the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail.View the full article -
And the reality is, the money they race for ain't bad but why Cambridge Wednesday, Auckland Friday, ?
