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.

There are requirements on staff to check in with people playing the pokies and ask questions etc at various time frames or if they get cash out a certain number of times, the machines are also required to stop every so often. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of anything like that in relation to the TAB in an agency or pub. I’m not sure on the actual exclusion process for either though. -

November is always an important month in Hong Kong racing and this year was no exception, with the city’s two best gallopers Romantic Warrior and Ka Ying Rising making big statements ahead of the Longines Hong Kong International Races (HKIR). The Post analyses the jockeys and trainers who had a month to remember or one to forget, as well as the most outstanding victory and winning ride. Who’s in form? Zac Purton continued his winning ways, matching his October haul with 16 wins at an incredible...View the full article -
Total BS…. I know of many punters at the Casino that have been approached regarding their gambling… even i was approached about 10 yrs ago playing Blackjack at the Christchurch Casino, reason being i arrived there at midnight and was still playing at 7am with a few mates, told me to take a break. Funny thing, since Casino first opened, only been there about 6 times, not been there for about 8 yrs. But nobody gets asked at TAB outlets or betting online, your dreaming. Once again your comments show somebody who has no idea about gambling, apart from your little syndicate on Melbourne Cup day at the retirement village. Would like to know, if anybody has ever been contacted by the TAB either at an outlet or online…. I have been punting 42yrs…. A BIG NO from me. -
Because RACE didn't have the money to lend it to them? -
I doubt Otaki earn that from running their own race days there

Neither does any other club in the country out of race day income. Some like Auckland have sold everything, so have a "bank of money" from selling the bank [hill] so until that runs out they will be ok but for the rest of the country it wont be so easy.......but there again that's why NZTR led by the former ARC Committeeman Russell Warwick want Avondale, Levin and now obviously Trentham, all sold up for their own good. Well they can go and get FUCKED. -
What is market rate then? It seems a bit strange to base that in any way on what LRC earns. If I hire that venue for an agreed rate of say $5000 to run an event, it's none of OMRC's business whether that event earns 5k or 20k. That's the nature of hiring. If I go to the local hire company and hire a digger for the day for say $300, they could care less whether I earn $500 or $2000 from operating it for the day. What I can earn from it has no bearing on the market rate for digger hire.You have a weird way of looking at it.

What's your answer Chief to your own question? I know for certain that you will have an opinion, as you always do.
