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 can't have it both ways @Huey on the one hand through your doom and gloom glasses you are telling us the breeding industry in stuffed, owners are leaving in droves and now you want ALL the tracks to presumably race no horses on. I realise these are difficult concepts for you to grasp. Although in saying that you talk in generalisations and anectdotes rather than present any data. -

Bullshit. The fact is Trentham's timing and photo finish systems have been a mess for years now. So you are identifying @Wingman as a broom or a brush? -
Well they would say that wouldn't they. Can't have state of the art equipment failing. As to you CS, if I put you in a clean, empty cupboard you would start an argument with yourself as to whether the cupboard had been cleaned by a broom or a brush. boom boom. -
They are all a protected species to me, like your idol I believe we need every track we can get, that's been proven countless times year after year in this industry. I'm also not confident a bunch of fly by nighters are the right people to be telling the industry which tracks should stay and which should go, not to mention the governing body should never be given the opportunity to spend a $ of the industry money they've proven that over and over again, should any of these ... it will be nothing short of a disaster. Fools involved in the disaster that is Awapuni, millions on an IT system that never got off the ground they make the Green Party look good! -

Yep - a $42,500 maiden and now $23k in the bank. -

I suspect this is what Entain see and have had enough of. NZTR have persisted for at least 2 decades while the industry shrinks. Sports meanwhile continue to invest in improving their product. -
They did have a good winner at Werribee yesterday, Royal Rendezvous….. came from a mile back to power home. -

I see Farknuckle aka @Joe Bloggs has Little Bobbie aka Bob Scott aka @nomates (an appropriate moniker that!) wrapped round his charisma which is funny because he has none. Just for the record - I DID not troll Farknuckle's wife. @Joe Bloggs had three accounts on here which when he got pissed off he said one belonged to his wife. Very convenient and then he went all BS and bluster over it when I know for a fact that he uses the same email addresses on other accounts on the Premier Anti-Racing Site. Show's you the nature of the man when he uses's his wife like that. Both very nasty little people and quite frankly @Comic Dog deserves them. This last little rumplestiltskin episode by the three of them started because I started a topic about Mark Walkers season so far in Australia. We all know @Comic Dog is trawling all over the net looking for stuff to copy because he is bereft of any initiative and so he decides to comment on it. Lo and behold the little pekingnese lap dogs bark on queue. All a bit pitiful really.
