Thanks.....pretty much sums up what the 'experts' said on Boxseat last night ,along with those who set the TAB markets.

Hard to disagree , but at least one 'hottie' will surely strike bad luck while I've seen the odd young trotter be put off by the big occasion and excitement.

At the last Cambridge event I remember over half the field broke in one trotting event while at Addington 2 yrs ago  there were a couple of false start shambles and several breakers though the very wet day probably contributed as well.

Will give you 5 winners, wouldnt have either of Dunns trotters even though ability wise they would be the best in the race

There are some 'shorties' this year for sure . Amazing Dream, Akuta, Bettor Twist, 5 wisemen, Krug all racking up very impressive records. very hard to beat any of them.

Perhaps the Trotting jewels 2 and 4 year olds events could go to the very impressive last start winners Mystic Max and Muscle Mountain ? . 

Kango should lead the last race so Bad to the Bone without cover maybe? a huge task but by far the race full of the most chances. Copy That will need an exceptional drive from that barrier too,  over the short distance. best of luck to all invested in the great days racing.

Young trotters not hew safest bet in town so im going against favs

[2Piper 408]

I"ll go no more than 5 of those will win .

[john legend 744]

Ok ok, didnt pick all winners but some were unlucky. eg Highgrove , and Amazing Dream.but congrats to the winners and place getters. great speedy day. 

[JJ Flash 2,135]

Great days racing whether you made money or not. Akuta had to be seen to be believed given its early blemishes.

Tabcorp account holders got 21.80 and 1.30 for Bolt for Brilliance for its win although Ozzie turnover on the Jewels was disappointing IMO.

[john legend 744]

I hope next Jewels the TAB allow all betting at 3 days before.. Sim to melbourne cup race. a special jewels number is needed to do this and if it "cant be done " find some I.T people that can do it.I too by the figures on tote there was little to enthuse over. This disappointing because a big marketing effort went in but if punters cant bet on thursday and friday nights it is an opportunity lost ps .my tab was virtually empty except for the pokies sunday. In 73 years the phrase that annoys the most is "it cant be done "

According to 1 owners the day was a shambles from a hospo  point of view. Have not seen anything from BGP as yet and last i saw 90 odd were attending.  It shows the difference between the codes . they would get 4 or 5 times that at one of the big gallops days

A shambles in what way ?

I thought a huge effort was put in by Club to make the day a success....certainly lifted the bar from previous @ Cambridge IMO.

The place looked in great nick ,well presented ....a lot of food options spread out all over ditto the TAB totes.

All went to time ,horses on track etc and racing was spectacular with horses quite close etc.

Only negative I saw was a few tote machines breaking down and/or not reading betslips.The  TAB guy with the roll of papertape  was doing his best to fix the antique machines. Bit of a bottle neck at the gate maybe ,plus owners getting their tickets a bit of a squeeze . But a lot of folk turn up at once at limited entry doors.A big influx even an hour before start.

Other than that... Parking very well organised ,ton of staff. A lot of young helpers giving out books and pens. Golf cart ubers for the older folks who had 100+ metres to walk. Free barista coffee . Great signage , divi board outstanding.Plenty toilets !

A bus load of of tote staff from Auckland ....a lot of effort put in by club

You werent talking to a negaholic ...a doom and gloom whinger ?

The Unhinged interviews showed very positive participants.

As for BGP ,they had a smallish area and were pre-selling about 100 tickets from memory....I went in there and they seemed happy... it was not a big hooplah /event like some of their other functions.

ps...its a big day for owners ,and a lot attend. Many big syndicate horses racing and each owner given two owners passesand 2 x drink coupons .Maybe a bottle neck at that particular bar !

The unhappy ones horse was a long and lonely last which did not help.

Anyone I spoke to said they had a great day as well given conditions

Didn't see Highgrove as unlucky. In fact after seeing him at Addington I felt theres no way he'd finish in 3 at the Jewels regardless of the draw but like you JL caught just a couple of good payouts but thoroughly enjoyed seeing good horses vs good horses in competitive racing.

That horse was lucky to be there in the first place,it had no form,I decided not to comment before the race because I may have been proven wrong,it was outclassed but it ran true to form.

Sweet Lous did not feature all day- that would not have helped

I was at a small gathering of 'Harness' folk last night and all were very complimentary of how Jewels day went.

One , a hard marker, said he ventured around the racetrack , spoke to a lot of people and said those attending were extremely happy with the day ,the facilities and the organization !
