I can admit to seeing this work !

Rules:

1. Bet on any horse in the feild that either starts, ends or has got BELLE in its name.
2.If rule one fails, bet all youve got left in your pocket/wallet/ash tray next race that comes up with a runner thats called BELLE something or something BELLE.
3.Substitutions of BELLE are ok as long as it sounds like BELLE, ie BEL, BELL, BHELL etc.

I watched a bloke one day at the pub last year, true story, (with all the other professional punters) push every one asside to reach the beer and ash stained tab machine, waving his hand in the air he slipped the hastly prepared ticket into the awaiting teeth of the TAB monster just before the jump.

Interested i asked OL MATE, what are you on (ie horse, not liquid),...BELLE something young fella,was his crutchety reply, and the thing came in and paid 15 something, he had a fair bit on and you guessed it,...he shouted the bar.

Ever since then in the back of my mind,..whenever i see a race with Belle in it it makes me laugh,..not to mention look twice.

This one is free to anyone whom wishes to use it,..thank me later with a plane ticket to the luxury hotel in the Bahamas that you will soon purchase.
