Next government

Almost certainly done my cash on Labour to win most seats. Now thinking the most likely outcome is a Lab-Lib coalition. This combo should reach about 300 seats and that might be enough to form (a minority) government. I have had:

3pts Lab-Lib coalition to form next government @ 8/1 Paddy Power

Available with several firms as I write.

Legatissimo

Nice result in the 1000 Guineas, great run from the Irish filly who obviously stays very well. Would imagine she will be hard to beat if they go the Oaks route.



Brings back memories for me of Galway races last summer when she powered home in a 7f maiden. Backed her on course on the tote that day when she paid 20.0 for the win! Happy days.

Musical tastes

Talking to a friend on Thursday night about current musical tastes. This, therefore, will only appeal to two or three people who read this blog. That will be about half the readers then! Me first. I know it's been out for about five years but I have to admit to only recently discovering the album Queen Of Denmark by John Grant. Here he is explaining then singing one of his songs from that album:





My friend introduced me to Public Service Broadcasting. Needless to say I knew nothing about them. Here they are with a mesmerising track called Go:



OK keep the chatter down in this room!

Two bets for tomorrow:

Saturday racing

The last three races advised on the blog have all produced a profit. Nice 9/1 (BOG) winner at Ayr in the latest post. Had a crack at the 2000 Guineas tomorrow which is not really my type of race so my winning sequence may well come to an end at Newmarket! 

This, of course, is a non-handicap race yet several bookmakers are offering 1/4 odds first four places which is the attraction. My bets are as follows:

15:45N 1.5pts ew Territories @ 6/1 Betfred BOG (1/4 odds 1,2,3,4)
15:45N 0.5pts ew Home Of The Brave @ 33/1 William Hill BOG (1/4 odds 1,2,3,4) 

Four points staked.

I may have a bet at Goodwood but will decide later.
