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.

55 hurdle victories from 260 rides including three Grand National Hurdles, a Great Northern Hurdle and a Wellington Hurdle which won't ever be repeated by a predominantly flat riding jockey. No incumbent Hall of Famer would've been brave enough to have 260 hurdle mounts let alone win 55 of them. Johnson should've been the first HOF inductee not the last and Des Coppins should've been buried with the Friday Flash ! -

lol! I could share some stories about when they were working on that sort of thing!!!!!!!! happy to report I still hold a clean card! -
Yeah bloody shame as always a popular meeting, looking through the fields be a struggle to find a winner, Ultimate Counsel tad unlucky last start, no champ but handy draw will help, old boy evidently pick something up over the circuit, let year the Mitchell's bought horses to Westport I think for the first time, I got on to Sinai Sermon, 25s Westport 40s Reefton, done the double, although was the March meeting, always seem to have a win at Reefton, Sinai now been exported to China, was a half brother to Lazarus. -
Thought he won the year previous, was unplaced in the race after 3rd in cup, was a good horse, Empire rose won Nz cup after placing in Melbourne cup, I think, was some time ago, she certainly was a good mare, big girl, did she leave any winners in the broodmare barn

Remember also, that even though people are saying Well Written is a home run, and we think she is very good and probably is. There are a lot of 3-year-olds in Aus, still to show their hand. Evaporate and Perfumist were late additions and ran well. Ironically the first nominated , Domain Ace ran last -
This meeting is being demoted in some ways and more than likely it does affect the turnover, better fields better betting.
