John Smith's bitter have announced that they will shortly be offering drinkers the chance to own a share of 'Smithy', a 3 year old thoroughbred racehorse.
From January 2010 buying a pint of John Smith's in participating pubs will entitle the purchaser to register for a share in 'Smithy - The People's Race Horse.' Share holders will then be able to participate in Smithy's development through voting on various decisions as the season progresses.
Everything is pulled together on a Smithy area of the John Smith's website at www.johnsmiths.co.uk/smithy. Here you can learn about Smithy's background, as well as meeting other important characters such as Dominique, Donald and Old George.
The Smithy website contains various multi-media information (with additional things like Facebook Pages promised shortly.) The crowd sourced football experiment at Ebbsfleet United saw a lot of buzz (if not necessarily long term success) and the Smithy promotion could create significant interest / discussion amongst John Smith's drinkers - though there is obviously a bit of a wait before this all goes live........
