Doing A Naiad 2022

For openness my position on Galahad Quest so far is:

40/1 4 points ew
33/1 10 points ew
33/1 20 points ew nrnb
25/1 15 points ew nrnb
25/1 5 points ew

I'll update here with further additions.

The last bet was with Coral who decided they wanted to restrict my bet. If the 25/1 holds (it's also available with Ladbroke), I'll perhaps try again tomorrow to get the full 10 points on I'd intended.

All of which gives a return of about 4k short of the original 'Naiad'.

I was joking with Kev and Jono the other day, that I don't want to beat the original Naiad di Misselot return, because I don't want to change the name of the bet. :hopelessness: I do intend to take my return up to the same level though.

Paul (Mr Spectre) really convincing reasoning and I'm in, I joined the party a bit late because today was my first visit for a few days.

I sat by at last years party and regretted it as each week passed but I cheered just as loud as all those involved because we all love to see the enemy shell out.

Day one is my only visit this year so hopefully I can be a part of the noise.

It would be great to get as many Fat Jockey to the same place in the racecourse to watch the race together Redbridge. I just don't know quite how practical it would be though.

Watching the big screen in the Parade Ring might be an option, perhaps over the far side by the weighing room might not be overly busy after they've gone out to the course.

That way, if he can do it for us, we'd get to see the hero of the day come back in.

It could be re-named "The Galahad Quest for another Naiad" though, which is brilliant.

In fairness 'Another Quest' has quite a good ring to it should you pull it off, pal

Food for thought......

Nick Williams, trainer of runner-up Galahad Quest (6-1), said: “It was a good solid run and he keeps getting better, so we’re very happy with that. We’ll have a think about next plans and all roads don’t necessarily lead back here in March, the jockey (David Noonan) was actually saying a flat track may be better.
“He’s won at Haydock and run well at Wetherby so he doesn’t have to come back here – there are other nice races around and we’ll look at things like Aintree and Newbury perhaps.”

Ohh FFS. Is it me or does there seem to be bad news almost daily. The RWF quote from Gordy yesterday seems like the only positive thing for my antepost I've read in weeks.

….mentions Aintree and Newbury, suggesting they might not take up the Kempton handicap entry at the end of this month.

Always think it best not to get carried away, especially when still 5-6 weeks to go and another race to run in by the looks of it.
 
Members might like to check the post I’ve just made on the Naiad thread in the members only section…

I'l be there too and would be more than happy to meet up for the race..it would be an amazing moment..
 
It feels like something we should organise. I'll pop a thread up a bit nearer to the Festival.

Perhaps Oscar Whisky can organise a massive Fat Jockey badge on a big stick which he can hold up at the meeting point so we can all find each other! :highly_amused:
