      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.

    • Unfortunately for punters/owners of the 2nd horse he CHEATED 8 times before the 100M when 5 is allowed Under the new rules (coming) he'd have been rightly relegated a place to 2nd Cant come soon enough...who cares if he gets 50% of his fee taken off?
    • Well stick that up all the doubters on the other channels!!! The number of armchair trainers that wrote him off even though the issues were well known. Brilliant win!!  Class is permanent!!
    • just watched race 4 and noticed the locals around at the start seemed a bit kinky. maybe thats an invercargill thing.
    • Jockey Jareth Loveberry claimed career win 2,000 in Friday's eighth and final race at Fair Grounds after a frontrunning score for trainer Justin Jeansonne. Two wins shy entering the day's action, Loveberry claimed the opener with the odds-on favorite Prince Day (Race Day) and bookended the card aboard Island Cabana (Custom for Carlos) to pass the threshold of the milestone. His career has taken him all over the country, with Loveberry best known for winning multiple titles at Arlington Park and finishing second in the Kentucky Derby aboard Two Phil's (Hard Spun) for trainer Larry Rivelli in 2023. He is currently riding in his fifth season at Fair Grounds and has finished in the top three in local standings for the past three. “Winning my 2,000th career race at a historic racetrack like Fair Grounds, it's pretty special,” Loveberry said. “Just thinking back 20 years ago, being tall like I am, I never thought I could get here.” “After I got the first one I said to myself, I have a couple of other horses with a chance today but I really think I could get the last. It's just good to get this weight off my shoulders. It's been a long road. Thanks to my wife (Stacie) and kids (Kennedy 13 and Colton 9) for supporting me every step of the way.” Loveberry also gave thanks to his agent, Steve Leving, for being an instrumental part of his journey. “Steve has been a big part of my success,” he said. “I was kind of going stale a little bit in 2019 when we got the connection to go to Chicago in the fall and we've been together ever since. I've got nothing but appreciation and gratitude for everything he has done.” The post Jareth Loveberry Notches Career Win 2000 at Fair Grounds appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
