Bit Of A Yarn

Jewels 2020


Newmarket

Recommended Posts

The concept of The Jewels is sound but the end result has often been a bit flat with the same old same old. Not helped of course by the same stable dominating every year. Yahoooo...not.

People will soon get pissed off with Christmas if all they get each year is to watch the same group of people opening their presents while they get what Paddy shot at....again.

I'd like to see it change to a NZ wide event. One year in Nelson. Next year at Auckland, the following year at Invercargill etc. Some venues will obviously need an upgrade but just turning the same audience onto harness racing is doing sweet F.A to increase the appeal of chariot racing. I'm bored with the Jewels but wasn't when it started.

I also think the timing is wrong. Difficult enough as it is trying to entice people to the races without deliberately timing the event to be brass monkey time.
