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 are correct in both of what you said lol Probably no point continuing to comment on how they are operating currently but one day it might dawn on them that Brodie “is totally on the money” or “in the money”

Do we still have commingling....some of those tote win pools yesterday at Ellerslie topped a million and the others were better than normal too, those figures can't just be for bets placed in NZ alone or are they? -

I gather you have returned from your Christmas/New Year pensioners bus trip and intend to continue 2026 as you left off 2025. You really don't have any original ideas do you? The 100 years of Sales in New Zealand must bring back memories for you. Trentham would have been the last time you bought a yearling. -

Leading jockey Umberto Rispoli, who was thrown from his mount Unconquerable Keen (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}) nearing the sixteenth pole of Saturday's Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint, was taken to the hospital and has been diagnosed with a fractured ankle, tibia and fibula, according to a post on X from his agent Matt Nakatani. “This isn't the end of the road for us,” Nakatani wrote. “We will be back stronger than ever. We greatly appreciate all of your support.” Nakatani posted that Rispoli will undergo surgery in the near future pending conversations with doctors. There was no immediate timeline for his return to the saddle. Rispoli was replaced on his two remaining mounts on the program, including aboard Almendares (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), who rounded out the triple in the GI Pegasus World Cup Turf. He was scheduled to have four rides Sunday at Santa Anita, including Later Than Planned (Ire) for Phil d'Amato in the Baffle Stakes.
