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.

you do need some though. Those Marketplace v Got The Chocolates clashes this year have been amazing. and you can show off your next 2 NZ Superstars. generated a bit of excitement . The Velocity and the NZ Derby were very exciting I've been Spruiking QLDer GUS the trotter to the Galah all year telling him how good he was. Paid $8 there twice , so you punting blokes might of got something. ( I backed GUS the 2nd time in the trotting FFA but missed the first unfortunately ) Good on ya GUS 🏆 . whatta beauty he is. Here's Another $8 winner for you Brodster. in the video. Shouldn't of paid so much against those very Weak South Island horses. About 8 of them in this video. The good horse tried to show some LEAP TO FAME death seat toughness though. great memories mate 😁😉 -
Who can't ? Give us some names? Doesn't have to be the ones you're going to glorify with you presence on their committees , just specific examples.

there's always a way. There's Sponsors and interested parties such as the stud farms and millionaires who chip in to keep it going. They already chip in to the large prize Slot races you guys All hate . Races are just run to what money sponsors put up at the time . I went to Tasmania with a few Queenslanders when Blacks A Fake won the Interdominion . He picked up a million dollars as First prize. sometimes Sponsors mean you can race for better money . other years not so much. The WAY it's ALWAYS been. ENTAIN /Ladbrokes have been great for harness racing. I can't condemn their input like you blokes do. we need them as are a good sponsor. Do they help the NZ Gallops out as well ? Chief might know ?

I'm beyond worrying about you @Chief Stipe , your delusion is absolutely scary at this stage. But as I have stated I'm more than willing to help once you actually put your money where your mouth is or rather become a "doer and not a sayer" ... P.S. My paint brush is right next to the LaZy Boy now , I await your call!

We are all starting to worry about your state of mind @Huey. It seems to be getting more and depressed and irrational. Now you are backing Australian racing when they do everything you despise at level 10 times above NZ. I gather you have had a bad experience in NZ racing and you havent got over it. Please share with us your specific issues so we can all work to help get you to move on. -
