OK, first off is the 14.05 at Kempton Park on Saturday. Nazreef is running again - perhaps he was saving himself last week. If not, he's likely to be tired this week! In the same race is Double Dealer. The link here is to the Deep Purple song Lady Double Dealer, from their 1974 album Stormbringer. Deep Purple - one of the greatest rock bands of all time - 'nuff said!
In the 15.20 at Musselburgh, again on Saturday, we have Layla's Hero, a nod to the classic song Layla. Recorded by Derek and the Dominoes, it was, of course, written and performed by Eric Clapton. Written as a love song to George Harrison's wife, Patti, even though they were still married at the time, it is a timeless classic. And it worked, as Patti and George split up later, so he got the woman he loved.
Finally though, I've chosen my Tip of the Week simply because it's a perfect example of the thinking behind this blog. Way Too Hot is running in the 15.45 at Saturday's Kempton Park meeting. The link here is the classic British band UFO. Their bass player is Pete Way, and one of their many excellent songs is called Too Hot To Handle. Can you see what I've done there?
All the best, and I'll report back next week. Ta-ra...
