Gaylad (foaled 1834) was a racehorse that beat fourteen rivals to win the 1842 Grand National, ridden by Tom Olliver.
Gaylad was trained by George Dockeray whose Epsom stables had also prepared Lottery and Jerry when they had won.
Elmore sold Gaylad at Tattersall's on 4 July 1844, receiving 950 guineas for the horse.
[2] Gaylad was a term at the time for a young man with a fondness for a hedonistic lifestyle.
Gaylad is sometimes recorded in modern historical accounts as Gay Lad; both spellings were used interchangeably at the time.
