Auroras Encore won the Grand National at 66/1... and I tipped it!!! You could say that my rock & metal method of tipping now works - or you could say it was pure luck. I know which one I think!
OK, now to this week. My selections all run at Kempton Park on Saturday.
First up is in the 2.05, Alice's Dancer. This is in tribute to the wonderful Alice Cooper. You may not know (or believe) that Mr. Cooper has been happily married for over 30 years, and that his wife was originally one of his dancers. Nowadays, his dancer is his daughter! Keep it in the family.
Next is I'm So Glad, running in the 3.15. This is the title of a song by Cream, a superb band from the 60s comprising Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. A true supergroup.
Finally, in the 3.50, is Nazreef, a favourite of this blog, as it combines two fantastic groups spanning many years - Nazareth from the 70s, and Reef from the 90s.
Good luck to everyone!!
I was thinking... how can I combine my love of classic rock and heavy metal music with my love of horse racing? The answer... give racing tips of horses based purely on a tenuous connection with rock and metal. Form, stable, owner, going, jockey - none of this matters. Can I connect it, in my head, to rock? That's what matters!! So here it is... enjoy the ride. Please note (read this bit in a serious voice). Any financial losses made following any of my tips are your fault entirely.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4
No, I'm not counting in a song, but pointing the way to this year's Grand National, where an each way finish in the top four could see the winnings come rolling in (some hope!). Here are my selections...
The Rainbow Hunter, simply because of the magestic band Rainbow, and the Free song "The Hunter".
Auroras Encore, because all good bands should come back for an encore!
Mr Moonshine, because it sounds a bit like the Supertramp song "Sister Moonshine".
And finally, Join Together, a song by The Who.
Best of luck to everyone.
