I’ve been too busy doing the day job, feeding mares afterwards and getting dinner ready to really focus on any analysis of the Harness Jewels fields in terms of breeding, so I won’t even try until afterwards. What I will be most interested in, is what sort of broodmares are producing good horses (any horse that makes the fields). Are they the top performers? Are they the great long-standing families? Are they middle range mares who have become consistent producers? Are they out-of-left-field mares?

But on the day ( Saturday 31 May), I’m just enjoying myself. What a day it is – our local equivalent of Little Brown Jug Day – and once again it looks like Cambridge will put on a cool but bright, sun-shiny day for the event where aged/sex group pacers and trotters go around a mile for high purses, record times and prestige than endures.

I will be there around the open public area, and will have a few bets on my sentimental favourites despite draws, just because this is a day to enjoy and get into the spirit of harness racing.

Catch up with you later – and don’t forget to check out my competition (last blog) and start THINKING about your entry.
