And just to compound the issue , the first Jewels at Addington ( Harewood and myself where there) was the coldest wettest day one could imagine. Sleet and hail, a complete waste of time for some of the horses on the day. Ashburton was great, still cold on occasions but a great atmosphere. 

Ashburton being my home track a mate and mine used get corporate table every year and take friends who generally weren't interested in racing but now most of them go to races quite often.They all loved the jewels,the atmosphere,the food,the free drinks probably helped and the fact that every year we got a few winners. I  managed to get a top driver or trainer each year just to come and chat a few times and our guests loved it.A couple of them still back a certain driver every drive she has.I was dirty when they swapped to Addington and never had bet at trots for about 6 months,went to the dark side and started following the gallops a bit more.Never went to Addington jewels just in spite.

Good comp Pete, thanks for running this, always looks easy till you try as a few have found out (not looking at a few in particular lol).  The spreadsheet skills required, comment and summary are not easy, and these comps just don't work unless it is all done before the next race.

I just took Garrick Knights selections and was pleased to get a BB trifecta in the last.

Having been to Cambridge Raceway many times, many years ago, it was good to see the crowds and atmosphere.

PS: Whatever happened to the Harness Jewels?

Hesi the Jewels were a great idea thought up by a couple of Ashburton trotting club members who worked hard to make it a reality.But after a few years HRNZ decided to move the South Island one  to Addington and it lost its x factor and disappeared off the radar.Same will happen with Grins night.HRNZ will slowly take over and will get taken off Cambridge.Saying that with the bias of Cambridge,having to be in in first4 turning for home I'm not sure if Cambridge the best place for sprints.Would personally like to see them race over 2700m,gives those with bad draws longer to get round field on the tighter track and short straight

I am sure on a Tuesday, the Turf Digest, and the Sportsweek books with the fields in came out. They were exactly the same size books.

Someone else might be able to recall.

Think the Turf Digest used come out twice a week.Might have been Sunday and Thursday

For your info, in running position is totally worthless if you don’t know what speed they are going to run at.

About as useful as decisions based on single factors like barrier & weight, cronically over emphasising their importance as a single factor in selections. 
Unfortunately bias is extremely difficult to remove from one’s punting as is displayed in this thread by a few posters. The way I handle it is to not consider factors that statistics I have show little bearing on the outcome.

I agree,speed in the race is a huge factor and with Gai having 4 in and all drawing handy and being front runners we know the speed will be on and they wont stop.Or will they just land in first few and jog around and sprint home.Which is why I wont be betting into this market as too many variables
