    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 seems that there's quite a few of us going to be there on Tuesday, There's no better excuse for a meet up

            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!

                  ITV will be so confused when half a dozen owners are smiling and shaking hands in the winners enclosure but down by the win line an army of Fat Jockeys ten times the size of connections are jumping around like lunatics…

                    I always watch this in the See you then bar which has been lucky for me in this race a few times, i suppose i can break that this one time and wait by the winner enclosure.

                      Showing my age, that immediately brought to mind the Morecambe & Wise sketch.

                        Definitely up for this! Happy to go along with where everyone fancies meeting for the race, imagine the scenes if GQ is bang there turning in

                          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.”
                          Thinking about what the jockey says, kind of makes sense re the Kempton entry on the 26th, Kempton being a flat track.

                            My local bookmaker is asking my mates if I have Alzheimer’s ?

                            she says he keeps coming back in and backing the same horse.

                              Quevegas bar is always a good place to meet a group of people. That’s where we all used to meet when we did OLBG groups. In fact, there’ll still be a few old OLBG guys who continue to go there every year for a quick hello and a pint, even now we don’t get any free tickets out of them!

                                Dont think I've seen this mentioned anywhere... But Lord Galahad has been entered in a 3m chase on the 26th.
