      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.

    • Take the Aussies out and still very good fields. The Aussie horses are 2nd and 3rd tier horses anyway
    • Was never going to. It is fine and blustery today and tomorrow in Auckland so that track should come back to a G4
    • Maybe got the Aussies here, great fields & should be a very enjoyable days racing. 
    • If you are not making the needed traction to make change within the Industry! Why don't you take your case to the correct State Dept,  MPI I think will meet your needs!  be serious! or just a keyboard worrier!  
    • Tell me newy...you know about the 'whip' having received plenty of beatings from moi Get a full load inya face of Sammy Collett bashing the bejus (just as Craig does) out of SCOUSER in the yellow that's yellow belly in your case https://loveracing.nz/Common/SystemTemplates/Modal/Video.aspx?v=http%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f202510%2fM2_ROTU_R03_121025.mp4&i=%2fCommon%2fImage.ashx%3fw%3d565%26h%3d314%26a%3d1%26o%3d1%26z%3d1%26bg%3deeeeee%26p%3dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f202510%2fM2_ROTU_R03_121025.jpg&r=Race 3 - ROTORUA RACECOURSE' RACE FOR THE LADIES 1215&rs=1 ..analyse it dressed in your best y/fronts..do you think shes "inadvertently" targeting the neck/head..or doing it on purpose to avoid ' counted whip strikes' just as Craig does It's telling the 3 jockeys topping the premiership ALL cheat Craig and Sammy's wilful head strikes and Doyle...who 'marks ' his target aka flank contact BEFORE a full bore thrashing..that doubles the affect as the horse knows what's about to eventuate In Old Blarney ANY contact is counted as 'verboten'..Sammy Spratt did EXACTLY the same thing as Doyle does before she had another bairn Visiting jockey Dan Stackhouse also smashed Pitman's runner over the head...on the pole and flattening the ear...i have the pictures Do you want them to view...send me your email gorgeous
    • thats pretty much what nowornever thought as well.fair enough, personally i think k coppins driving early on was at the lower end of carelessness,but still careless and the resulting consequences were bad. the worst driving was by hacket.  to think,the stipes chose to ignore the drivers that contributed to both nasty incidents,instead chosing to speak to the one driver who contributed nothing towards the incidents.
    • FFS Thommy, give it a rest.  i have noticed  whenever you post, it goes very quiet on this site
    • Galah, you are correct that the galloping at the start was caused solely by Kate Coppins continuing to look inside her. She shouldve been looking forward rather than sideways and Becker would not have been severely interfered with from Kate Coppins drive. Yes she shouldve beed suspended and fined no doubt about  that! They think it far better to nail drivers who use the whip intent on wanting to win a race? Nathan Delaney shouldve been warned for his drive, probably lack of driving skill on his behalf here?
