VJOKE

A guy walks into a bar one late afternoon and asks the bartender for a drink. Then he asks for another and another. After a couple more drinks, the bartender is starting to get concerned. “What’s the matter Fella?” the bartender asks.”My wife and I had a huge fight,” explained the guy. “We agreed we won’t talk or acknowledge each other at all for 20 days. “The bartender thought about this for a while. “But, isn’t it a good thing that she isn’t talking to you or even noticing you are there for 20 days?”
“Yeah, it sure is, that’s why I’m here, it’s the 20th night right now!”

VMEETINGS

There is the Group One Kingsford-Smith Cup at Eagle Farm on Saturday and in addition there is the Group 2 BRC Sires Produce Stakes and five other Group 3 Races…….

VKEEPING

With the BOB Betting on every Australian Race Meeting (except Tasmania) occasionally the BOB option will disappear for a particular runner and a dash will appear, the reason for this is the MAX Liability is reached. The key is to get on early and don’t leave it too late, if you do then the TF or the BT are the next best options or do a combination of both……….

VFACTS 

The BTC Cup is now known as the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup and is no longer the first Group 1 race held at the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival. Instead, from 2017 onwards it runs a fortnight after its former spot on the carnival line-up and when moved from Doomben Racecourse to Eagle Farm Racecourse it was renamed after Australian aviator Charles Kingsford Smith. For the 2013 running of the BTC Cup the race was moved to neighbouring Eagle Farm Racecourse and this track is the race’s new permanent home. Formerly run over 1,200m, the new-look Kingsford Smith Cup is contested in late May over 1,300m and remains a weight-for-age (WFA) event. Offering $700k in prize money the race now serves as a final stepping stone into Queensland’s richest race – the $1.5 million Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1,400m). The new lead-up race into the Kingsford Smith Cup field is the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1,200m) a fortnight earlier. Many top horses, usually locally-trained, have run and won the BTC Cup over the years but none as notable as the mighty Black Caviar who travelled to Queensland to take out the classic over Hay List back in 2011 attracting a capacity crowd at Doomben decked out in her famous salmon and black polka dot colours. Other notable winners apart from Black Caviar include Strawberry Road (1983), St. Jude (1991), Chief De Beers (1996), General Nediym (1998), Falvelon (2000 and 2003) and last year’s winner Impending (2018)….
