NZ Racing Desk Reporting

[Huey]

Anyone else noticed how shallow and tedious the reporting and journalism on New Zealand racing has become?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of depth to it anymore , where have all the stories and characters gone ???

It seems to be themed.

The Lindsays had a horse run and it won.

Someone paid mega $$ for a horse and it surprisingly won a maiden at Te Teko.

Baker and Forsman surprisingly like a horse in their stable they have entered in a race.

Horse sold for big $$ races in Aus.

The BGP crowd reckon all old people in racing are fuddy duddies and should step aside and let them run racing with their years of experience.

Te Akau have a horse that think is a Guineas,Derby,Oaks or Cups horse.

Horse returns from Asia and wins.

 

I'm probably being a grumpy old man but surely there is more to NZ Racing than this?

Or is this just an example of the manufactured nature that appears to be the future of racing here?

The articles are full of factual errors (did Atlante really win the 2000 Guineas the year after Turn Me Loose) and appalling spelling. They invented a new word the other day, "intracule". I think they mean integral. So very embarrassing!

Its all in house generated.  No independence.  It's blah.

Bringing new and young people to racing, but getting a bit above themselves aren't they
