VJOKE

For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren’t married, this is something to smile about the next time you see a bottle of wine:

Denise, a lovely Irish lady living in Beaumaris in Suburban Melbourne was in the United States with her Husband Tony who was away for business and Denise decided to accompany him on this trip. Denise was driving back to the Hotel after a day out exploring some of the highlights of Arizona including the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman stepped into the car. Resuming the journey, Denise tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Denise. ‘What in bag?’ asked the old woman. Denise looked down at the brown bag and said, ‘It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband Tony.’ The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: ‘Good Trade…..’

VMEETINGS

WA once again has all the Group One Racing action this upcoming weekend with the Group 1 Winterbottom. This is the second of three week’s Trilogy of Group 1 action in Perth. There is also Group 3 Racing from New Zealand, Doomben and Rosehill. On Sunday there is the Traralgon Cup along with many other venues around Australia and races overseas from Sha Tin (HK), Singapore, USA, Japan, Mauritius and South Africa…..

VKEEPING

Lots of people have asked me why their BOB dividend is something strange like $4.49, $13.46 or $1.97………Simple, this will only happen when deductions apply, have a look at the Bet Screen, I have added the deductions and the time that they took place. I have faded the Red so it is not too obvious but that is the answer. If the payout of the wager is calculated at the BT dividend then that means the TF less the deduction was less than the BT……Any further clarification then call Tim Cleary – 0433-339347…….If we are not displaying the Pre-Post Odds and you would like a Fixed Odds wager then click on BOB for your selection, then Modify, this will give you the option to take the Pre-Post fixed Odds……

VFACTS

The race has grown in importance over the recent years with increases in prizemoney and class and has become Western Australia’s premier sprint race. The race is run on the middle weekend of the Perth Summer Carnival, being run the week after the Railway Stakes and WA Guineas, and the weekend before the Kingston Town Classic. The prize money was raised to $1 million in 2015. It was first run in 1937 and was previously run on Railway Stakes day, it is now the highlight of the second week of the Perth Summer Festival. The Winterbottom Stakes was originally over 1,400m but from 1993 it was shortened to 1,200m. The Winterbottom Stakes was a Principal Race then a Group 2 from 1979 to 2010 when it achieved Group 1 status after the WA Derby lost its. Since it became a Group 1 elite sprinters have run in it. Buffering was twice a winner and Ortensia won it a second time before heading on her international trek which included a G1 Al Quoz Sprint, G2 King George Stakes and G1 Nunthorpe. Subsequent G1 winners to come out of the 2016 race included Sheidel, Vega Magic and Terravista. Viddora continued the good run of form with her taking a Moir Stakes after her Perth victory. In 2008, one of the great clashes of modern elite sprinters saw Takeover Target defeat Apache Cat by a nose. Notable winners of the Winterbottom Stakes include Takedown (2016), Buffering (2013/2015), Ortensia (2009/2011), Takeover Target (2001), Marasco (2006), Miss Andretti (2005), Hardrada (2002/2003), Bradson (1998), Jacks Or Better (1995), Barrosa Boy (1992), Placid Ark (1987), Jungle Mist (1985), Asian Beau (1979), Romantic Dream (1977), Starglow (1973), La Trice (1970/1971), Nicopolis (1962), Chestnut Lady (1954) and Raconteur (1952).
