I don't see it as greed. I see it as resuscitation. Cambridge every second year is especially uninviting, but even Ashburton every alternate year doesn't seem to generate the interest it once did. The Aussie raiders have never turned up in numbers, and some of the top NZ contenders seem to be skipping it in the last season or two. It needs a CTRL ALT DELETE. A reboot.3 points

Go back and read a recent article in the Informant which set out John Messiahs view of NZ racing and the direction we should take. The headline read 'start with a blank piece of paper" and create a Racing Act relative to these times and technology. Codes wise he favoured separate administrations controlling their own destiny and not a collective. It was a very thought provoking and constructive interview from an administrator with a proven track record. Read it.3 points

I get the impression that like the celebrated "Donald" Messara is going to drain the swamp on Jackson Street. But he will find that the swamp is run by determined ugly critters, and those critters will fight tooth and nail to get Messara's report ignored. Those ugly critters do little for NZ racing but they are a formidable foe. Good luck John. It is now 37 years since John tried to buy a NZ breeding outfit, but the politicians and misguided pressure groups thwarted that bid. That failed bid gave the then young Messara a great lesson in the filthy behind the scenes machinations of NZ politics.2 points -

Hi Insider, Just back from a good, but wet night, at Alexandra Park. Glad I had taken my umbrella, as we managed to be lucky enough to win a race, and it was hosing down. Thanks Insider, for leading me into the excellent reason for the big heart. Sue, I am sorry the heart was not bigger!!! Cheers. Robert.2 points

Dennis Ryan had the guts to keep The Informant as a Privately owned NZ Thoroughbred /Trotting publication. Didnt he? Along with Gus and others, Stretch, the Matamata lad, established a News/opinion Platform for the likes of Brian de Lore. Brian de Lore has never been fightened to take on Thoroughbred issues and conflict of interest. Gary Chittick was an RIB member when a 2kg Fillies allowance came into NZ Racing. ( Studs were retaining their filly families and saw a huge advantage for them when they raced them). De lore was against the allowances for females. That lovely bloke who wrote for the Dominion, Racing ( ????) wrote an article criticising the process with which the 2kg fillies/mares allowance had been fast forwarded.He was pensioned shortly afterwards. Here is a good read to support my point that Major Studs influence racing Politics THE INFORMANT the unbiased NZ Racing Publication. Messara will do a cull. Big time. https://www.thoroughbredracing.com/articles/why-fillies-mares dont-need-weight-allowance-highest-level/2 points -

Was that really necessary Insider? I made a harmless suggestion regarding your comp (that people should take a $1 multi) and now you're resorting to this childish nonsense. Nimue was a very special filly - her 1000 Guineas and Bayer Classic wins will be among the better wins in those two races. The reason she didn't do anything beyond three years of age is that she injured herself and didn't race beyond her 3yo season. Altitude didn't race beyond three years of age either but doesn't make him a lesser horse. and yes she was a poor broodmare, but there have been many a good mare on the track who have failed as broodmares. and as for me - I'll leave that to the people who know me to judge, but based on what I've seen on here, I'm feeling ok about myself right now.2 points -

Haven't seen the new format yet, but I'm not fussed about whether owners names are included. When I buy a Best Bets, I buy it for the form - I don't care who owns a horse - if I wanted to know I'd look it up online. I'm an owner and yes I pay to put on the show but couldn't care less if my name is in the Best Bets. if they're constrained for space then happy for them to drop my name.2 points

Chris Wood reacted to Berri for a topic
There are an additional 25% more pages.... how can it make the breakeven mark as was promised? I hear that weekly sales are now down between 1000-1500 copies. Where are the owners names? A very important factor. The owners put the show on. Who the hell has made this dumb decision? Where's the consultation process? Where's the data that shows this is acceptable. I also thought that the concept was to have a smaller pocket book type publication. I saw papers saying this was to be a key feature. This publication is wider, taller and thicker. Geez Wellington....what's the story?!?! that never seems to improve itself. Maybe we should add this to the Messara list to review. I haven't understood why the media of our sport hasn't got its shit together but I guess it's just one of the continued dysfunctional elements of the industry1 point -
Speaking of speed in the race, the Japanese horse, Ambitious has broken two minutes for 2000m four times (yes, I understand they run their races differently over there) - after a nice run for second over the 2400m of the Tancred last start, he could be the smokey...1 point

Winston Peters calls on Australian experience to review NZ racing structures
Patiti reacted to Fartoomuch for a topic
Does it not concern you that Messara is only a Gallops man.Also, have the Ozzies been of great assistance to NZ racing when put in postions of authority? Appointing him to do the review as well as mentioning the 2003 Racing act in the same Pres release should be sending alarm bells to both Standardbred and Greyhound codes. I'll stick my neck out now and say that in time its going to be a free for all with each code going there own way and the NZRB being downsized and not running the abysmal show they are now with their monopoly.1 point -

I guess now the 2 big studs have purchased Vincent what price him . ? maybe 6000 and 100 mares year 1 in nz. At least with his bloodlines he will be excellent cross for the Bettors Delights. Maybe this deal means Laz will be racing this season. lets hope so.1 point -
I am reminded of how you are living in an unrealistic world, quoting shit from a storybook that is well past its use by date. In a world with finate resources & increasing pressure on the planet the last thing the human population needs is to follow a command such as you describe. Freedom of choice to have as many kids as you want as long as you can support them yourself and not expect the general populous to fund your choice. & yes I do follow Darwinism as any sound rational person does, loons like you are perfectly ok to follow intelligent design and other fairy tales you may like.1 point
