Where it all began....

When I started this blog, it was a lovely coincedence that one of the horses running on that first day was called Heavy Metal. You couldn't make it up. The horse ran quite well, but it was a great start to this silly indulgence of mine. Well, Heavy Metal is running again tomorrow in the 5.55 at Newmarket, so I've got to give him the nod.
Also running tomorrow in the 1.20 at Newbury is Baker Man. One of the greatest and most eccentric (and angry) drummers is Ginger Baker, famous for his time with Cream. Check out the brilliant film 'Beware of Mr Baker'.
Finally, in the 5.40 at Catterick is No Quarter, one of Led Zeppelin's best tracks. Wonderful stuff. Ta-ra
