blonde poker forum

Good friend of mine has a horse being currently trained in Dubai. Horse seems to be improving with every run and they are hoping for big things from him in general. They recently turned down a significant offer to purchase him which shows their faith in the animal.
My pal said last week that he would be in Dubai for a few months with the idea being that he can win some decent prize money. Also said that they are not there for the fun of it and he needs to win something to pay for all the costs , which are huge as im sure you can all appreciate.
Anyway the horse is in form , fit ,well & fancied so cant really ask for more .
It's also tipped up by a few form guru's in general .The betfair  tipster being one of them and also timeform . It's not the easiest of races but they think this horse is good enough to run at the world cup meeting in March , so needs to win today to justify the entry.

Belgian Bill  4.40 meydan currently available around 5/1
 
I have my £100 on so gl us !   : )

On gl us

why not.
gl us

Gl peeps.

Read this whilst eating a Belgian Biscuit, surely a sign.

on..obv

GG lads am on

Managed to get £60 on at 5/1 with Sky - they then immediately cut to 4/1 #gettingmemixedupwiththecamel

Read this whilst opening a bill, so had more on

Stuck £20 on betfair and also discovered I had a free £5 bet from Bluesq so stuck that on as well.

gl us

James Willoughby said he fancied it strongly and it instantly shortened from 53. to 4.3 on betfair!

gl!

Found absolutely zero soon as it came off the bridle :(

Meh

sorry lads . sigh . looked good for a min there.
found absolutely nothing . fkin tips . sigh

Willoughby also it said his only doubt was whether it would get home.

What won the race guys?

dettoris horse i think

Expecting much better things today back on turf. Horse came back a tad sore from its last run and they just think he didn't like the surface . Songcraft came out and won again last week so the form of this horse is good enough to win this today . I havn't spoken to my friend today as yet, who is one of the shareholders ,but there's nothing unusual in that .He generally wont answer the phone on race days as everyone just hassles him for info. I spoke to him last week however and every thing is still on track for a bink. Like i said earlier they need the prizemoney for costs.

 Belgian Bill 5.30 Meydan . currently around 16/1 .
Keep the faith !

Had a cheeky tickle.

GL

 Just managed to get hold of him .
Says that they are hoping for at least a place and it was pleasing to see the good horse Songcraft come out and win again last week as we were very close to him before.
i wouldn't go mad but he's defo trying and worth couple quid to pay for the weekends beer : )

WTF!!! Couple of quid!!!!

Why didn't you tell me that before!!!!!!!

how many beer tokens do you need ?  : )

Actually that's a fair point. Had 25ew. Should just about cover the weekend if it wins.

you having a quiet weekend ?

It might even cover next weekend if it wins.

14/1. Hmmm. Could be close.

Depends what wine's they have I suppose.

On

Ive bokked backed it :)

Ive bokked it :(

Onnnnnnnnn...

 Ahrt
Involved!

Gl us..   ;hide;

Looked good for about 5 seconds and then got swallowed up :(

Didn't quite stay the mile.  Which isn't ideal in a 1M2F race

yeh needs dropping back to a mile

Keep him coming treefella we're pot committed now :)

sigh..  sorry everyone. was genuine info. so tilting that this horse has not come good again. been badly placed imo .
feel for my mate too,he has spent a fortune in bills from the trainer and been promised the world with this horse .
 I cant help but think this horse will win a decent prize but won't tip him up again . Twice bitten as they say : (
 

Don't apologise m8, thanks for the heads up and pls make sure you do keep putting it on when it's running!!

Norr. Don't let us miss it next time. Everybody knows it's just a crazy gamble same as that useless glue factory dodger Petomic.

One day it'll win and everyone will be really happy despite being 12 grand down on it.

Had a long chat with my mate today regarding yesterdays run. Ted Durcan the jockey said nothing was going better in the race 2 out and he thought that the horse would win for sure.
The horse stopped so quickly as he broke a blood vessel " Bled " as is know in the game. This explains probably why he stopped so quickly in his last 2 runs when looking the winner 2 out. According to the jockey there are no stamina doubts and he is certain the horse stays 10 furlongs, is a very good animal and will win a decent prize.
At least we know why he ran poorly but this is hugely disappointing for my mate as the horse now cant run at the world cup meeting in March where by the prize money is huge and by far the biggest in flat racing.
The horse will need to go on a course of drugs  and will have to return to Whitsbury back in the UK. You need so much luck in this game even when you have a good horse. The costs can just run up and up and up .
Will let you all know if he's fancied when back on the racecourse.

Once they've bled once, they rarely come back to the form of pre bleeding.

Shame because he's clearly a very talented horse.

GL to your mate.

running again today at Wolverhampton. has missed a weeks work as been in quarantine but apparently the horse is well.
 they obv feel they have a chance as my mates on way up with all the family, don't think ive heard him be quite so excited .. so ..  its not for just a day out !
got the draw/ top jock  and right trip imo. can see us binking some money back if the horse runs to form and doesn break vessel again.

probably a risky proposition ... but

im having a nifty on.. GL   : )

Belgian Bill 2.20 Wolv  

Be nice with Cheltenham here, 9/2 with laddies and 7's with 365. Score on thanks and good luck.

On for a bit of interest

Yep on...as always lol

Then according to the RP:

Leading contender on ratings but drop back to 7f a concern

Wut?  It's the only thing not a concern...

On though, obv!

On for a nifty. Gotta stick with it now.

If it's fancied that's half the battle round Wolvercheatington.

Last six runs over 1m2f but they'll go a good pace here, so might fall his way. Gl all.

On

Got my £60 free bet with Stan James on this at 11/2.

Let's go!!!!

The Money seems to be down for it anyway

Fark.

Urgh, ulul

I get it now, the shrewdie at RP was hoping it was getting dropped back to 6F

Is that bad ? Lol

So close!!

Thanks for the tip again Treefella. Keep it coming.

ffs. tad unlucky there.
quarantine setback  obv a gallop short or wuda skipped home  : (

backed into 7/2 from 7/1 so the money was down.

very close , thanks for the tip.

got one lined up over jumps running in the next couple weeks expected to win . will post when i know for certain

So obv cos I was on!!

Only just seen the result. Due to the previous doubts I took the place bet on unfair, was almost 2/1 when I bet

Ok so we run again today. Horse has run a few times since I last posted without success . At Royal Ascot which was probably his best runs this year considering how strong the competition were, the horse ran reasonably but wasn't expected to win , hence no posts & last time at newmarket when made fav was just ridiculous. No way would he win  on such ground and indeed arguments were caused umongst the three owners  with regard to if he should run at all. My mate was out voted by the other 2 owners who wanted him to run. This was a mistake for sure and sometimes running a horse of this quality in the wrong races too many times will just simply break them. I hope that's not the case here.

At Goodwood today however we have a totally different proposition. Right trip , going , yard getting a few winners , not to mention top jockey. So more than hopeful of a decent run and hopefully you guys can get a few quid back for the weekend.

Belgian Bill goodwood 3.10pm 

Everything looks in place today for a great run although this is a very competitive handicap at a difficult track , i recommend each way bets at around 16/1 - 20/1
so gl us !

having a small touch, gl us

Snap.

Been on all the others, so on again. gl us.

Something i should probably point out.

Drawn 15 is not good . Stats show that almost all the winners of this particular race were drawn low. So 20/1 is about right .
Feel we are gonna need some luck in running to win this so small stakes only guys !

Yeah this is right, the draw is terrible but it´s probably in the price with everything else looking favourable. The edge if we have one is that connections (evidenced partly by this thread) think he´s better than he´s shown so far. Small interest for me, Murtagh is as good a man as any to try and overcome the draw issue.

FFS, could have added this yesterday when advised.

Draw cost it - fwiw I think he got the sectionals about right and thought (very briefly) in may get a place.  Think the horse has a race in him

mm . draw defo huge hindrance. thought the horse ran a lot better today. theres a win in him for sure. he's certainly fit and well . Just keeps losing ffs !


sigh at the losing run. cant tip up a winner on this forum : (

Finally wins.

Smashed off the boards 10/1 >>>> 11/2, ran prominently for the first time since the old king died.

Found plenty for once.

?

Belgian Bill 19.50 kempton 11/2

Probably smashed into because Tom Segal put it up in pricewise extra, well partly.

Sigh at seeing this .
Certainly had a few losing runs since i tipped him up,but it has been running in hot high value handicaps that you need a whole lot of luck in.
I gave up backing this one a long time ago, but still cant help feeling pretty miffed i never backed him last night  : (
Admittedly this was a much weaker race last night and they did punt it from 12/1 the night before , but they generally do this every time it runs anyway.
Spoke to the owner today who is obviously very happy , he backs him blind every time it runs , although he is a big loser overall financially from punting.
horse is well high up in the weights now , but could probably win on the all weather again in the right race.

gl to those still following and sorry i never gave you all a winner when it mattered  :(

Yesterday at Exeter, first race in the mud was won by a 40-1 shot by 7 lengths. Second was a 20-1 shot by 4.5 lengths. Third was a 40-1 shot by 8 lengths.

Any thoughts on that?

 nice tricast  :D

Runs again at kempton tonight ;)

love it how ever horse posted blondies follow off a cliff

This one by far the most interesting one ever posted imo.

It showed repeatedly it was way better than it's handicap mark, just needed connections to find what it's perfect conditions were and how to persuade the horse to put it all in.

Think it's capable  of winning a listed race in the right circumstances, maybe even a group 3.

 won ... 8/11 fav in a 5 runner race

Belgian bill and Sirius prospect both run in the 18:30 at kempton for the followers.

Match bet anyone - FPTP?

Ill take bill for £50

wrong side, no bet I'm afraid.  Was looking to bet with Sirius fans

Have had the forecast for a giggle.

I am a Sirius fan

... that wanted to bet on Sirius.

At last.

I was a young man when I first backed Belgian Bill.

I ran out of money backing him a long time ago :)

A text from an old mate who I don't hear from too regular, has been known to come up with the goods.

Mister Fantastic 13:40 Stratford, still 9/1 in a few places.

Sure an expert will be able to tell me why I have just burned money. On E/W anyway.

Make up of the race would favour a win bet over E/W. Good luck, I'll have a few quid on.

That's for clever people, I am an ice cream who considers getting his stake back as good as a win even though I know I am costing myself. :(

gl us

Not run for 701 days...obv on :D

LOL
At first fence

"Down at flight one"

Stick to poker ;)

Ul

You'd think in 700 days they'd have taught him to jump

3 day posting on blonde for Milli! :D

FFS, popped out, just got back in and could immediately tell by my balance that we bricked. Sorry guys, so glad I went balls deep.. :(

Not much better at that. wwie

I put your ofc winnings on, that mean we all square now? :D

Haha, I'm surprised the bailiffs haven't been round yet. I passed that debt on!

If they come round tonight they'll get it in fun size Mars bars :D

Is that one happens at your gaff? not even a selection!

nits gotta nit

Got a txt about a horse this morning and for once it wasn't from Eso so it means i am happy to risk my own money..

"A solid ew bet with a good chance of winning" apparently: Cheltenham 1.50 Our Mick @ 9/1

gl me.

Our Mick has gone woofy imo, hence the first-time blinkers today. I'd say he's on the risky side and I'd sooner back him win only if at all, as there's a good chance it will be all or nothing.

Just the messenger but win only makes a lot of sense tbf. My money is long since down so legooooooooooooo. Come on the blinkers.

early signs are not good. :(

Didn't realise it was the weight of your dough holding him down ;)

Get it shot then get it in my burgers and kebabs!

Had it in an ew double as well and the other won. Wounded :(

Obv if I don't post it romps it.
