      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.

    • Henry Longfellow sired his first reported foal, a bay filly out of Aurora Borealis (Montjeu), at Noralla Stud Farm. The dam is a daughter of listed winner Elaflaak (Gulch). “She's a very attractive filly, full of quality and very correct–a great advert for her sire,” said Tina Dargan. A Group 1-winning juvenile, Henry Longfellow is bred on the same cross as 2025 Champion Sire Night Of Thunder, as he is by Dubawi out of a Galileo mare, in this case Minding, a seven-time Group 1-winner and champion. He stands for €12,500 this year.
