At this stage in the life of my blog, I was going to say something along the lines of "If you had placed a £1 bet on each of my tips of the week so far, you would have spent £4, and you would have received winnings of £xx". Here's the reality. If you had placed a £1 bet on each of my tips of the week so far, you would have spent £4. Er, I'm afraid that's it. No winners yet, although Uriah Heep did come 2nd last week.
So to this week. My first tip runs on Saturday in the 14.40 at Punchestown. Outlaw Pete is the title of a Bruce Springsteen song, taken from his 2009 album Working on a Dream. Springsteen has been around for years, and still performs epic gigs. I saw him once in 1985 and he was on stage for well over 3 hours.
My next tip runs in the 14.20 at Ripon on Saturday - Toto Skyllachy. Toto had some massive hits in the early 80s, including Rosanna, Africa and Hold the Line.
A friend of mine is going to Saturday's meeting at Sandown, and has foolishly asked me for a couple of tips, despite the fact that he actually knows what he's doing when it comes to racing. So, just for him, are two tips, both running in the 15.10.
First up is Free World, which brings to mind the anthemic Rockin' in the Free World, by Neil Young. One of the greatest rock artists around, Young writes some fantastic stuff, and covers so many different music styles you never know what he will come up with next.
My tip of the week, again in the 15.10, is Deep Purple. Running two weeks after being pulled up in the National, let's hope being tip of the week again doesn't worry it. As I've said before, and will probably say many times, Deep Purple are one of the best rock bands around. Full. Stop.
Ta-ra
