The most incredible and moving story in the 28 years of the Chronicle & Echo Naps Table... that was the case on Saturday surrounding the 33/1 success of Such A Legend for the Go Getters.
The tragic premature loss of Juanita Rogers on Friday left grieving husband Andrew with the task of selecting a horse which would have fitted the psychology of Juanita to the letter, and he had no doubt the Kim Bailey runner fitted the bill exactly.
He said: “There is no way I would have picked that horse in a million years but Juanita would have done.
“When the result came through I was sitting with our daughter Samantha and we laughed and screamed and cried.”
The result pushed Go Getters into fifth place with eight weeks remaining.
The Naps Table club is also a much poorer place this week following the death on Saturday of former tipping champion George Ward (The Viking).
Next Saturday, selections can be made at Doncaster, Kelso and Newbury.
