Well, you never know - one day, one of my tips will come good.
My choice this week runs in tomorrow's meeting at Ascot, in the 2.40. The Rainbow Hunter has a dual connection with two, now defunct, bands. Rainbow were a superb band, existing between 1975 and the mid 1980s. Formed by former Deep Purple maestro Ritchie Blackmore, they went from bombastic hard rock to commercial success, all the time underpinned by Blackmore's wonderful guitar playing.
The Hunter was a song performed by Free, a fantastic short-lived band. The singer, Paul Rodgers, along with drummer Simon Kirke, went on to form Bad Company. Sadly, their troubled guitarist, Paul Kossoff, died in 1976.
