I missed the show that started the ball rolling, but here's what I can gather....
Mark Jones had a segment, "Keeping Up with the Jones's". In this he expressed his concern on the management of HRNZ and the impact it is having on the industry. I didn't see it, but after talking to those who did most people agreed that changes need to be made somewhere, our export vs racing vs breeding numbers are shocking.
The following week, "Keeping Up with the Jones's" was cut from the Box Seat format, causing quite an uproar on the social media sites by industry personnel. Many were upset that Mark spoke his mind publicly about these issues and was 'punished' for doing so by being pulled from the show. It raised the issue that if one of our high profile figures can't call it how he sees it, what hope does Jo Breeder and Bob Trainer have in changing anything?
In the days following, the Box Seat announced via social media and a brief mention on Trackside that it would be taking it's "Winter Hiatus" early, but would be back for a special Jewels preview.
Hope that helps!!
