Still waiting...

I'm still waiting for one of my tips of the week to win. However, one of my other tips, Outlaw Pete, did win last week, at an SP of 9/1. We're getting closer, I'm sure.
So to this week - all runners go on Saturday. First tip is Get it on, in the 4.10 at Uttoxeter. This is the title of one of Marc Bolan & T.Rex's biggest hits. One of the best glam rock bands of the 70s, Marc Bolan was tragically killed in a car crash in 1977.
Next up is All or Nothing, running in the 3.55 at Thirsk. This is the title of a great song from the Small Faces. Led by Steve Marriott, the Small Faces eventually split, with Marriott forming Humble Pie, and the rest of the band joining up with Rod Stewart, becoming The Faces.
My third tip is Fairway to Heaven, in the 2.40 at Thirsk. I'm guessing that the owner is a fan of both golf and Led Zeppelin, so no complaints there. If you've never heard Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, I suggest that you do.
Finally, my tip of the week is Day of the Eagle, in the 3.20 at Thirsk. This is a song by Robin Trower, from his Bridge of Sighs album. Trower was originally in Procol Harum, and then went solo, releasing some superb albums. Still touring today, he is well worth going to see.
That's it for this week... here's hoping...
