VJOKE

A teenage boy named Luke who lives in Bayside Melbourne in Black Rock loves all sports, has turned 18 and had just passed his driving test with his Instructor Terry. He then inquired of his Dad as to when they could discuss his use of the family car. His father said he’d make a deal with his son, “You bring your grades up from a C+ to a A average, study your Bible once a day and get a haircut. Then we can have a discussion about the car.” Luke thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about five weeks his father said, “Son, I have checked with your Haileybury teachers and you’ve brought all your grades right up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m pissed off that you haven’t had your hair cut, it looks terrible.” Luke said, “You know what Dad, I’ve been thinking long and hard about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had really long hair.”
His Dad replied “Did you also notice Son that they all walked everywhere they went?!!”

VH2H – Head to Head Betting

VICBET H2H Betting is available every race in two groups of three. It is the three Favourites (1st, 2nd and 3rd) combined in one H2H outcome and the second H2H is the 4th, 5th and 6th Favourites combined, excluding the Fav if it is Odds-on (under $2). This is a moving dynamic market so as the odds change for the actual race the odds will change for the H2H outcome. Also, you can pick your own H2H outcome, then simply text or WhatsApp Tim Cleary (0433-339347) and he will price up for you, this can be in a group of two or three……This a novelty bet type so it is for the small players……

VFACTS

Who was Charles F Orr? Let’s roll the clock back to the to the Williamstown Racecourse where the race was run from 1925-1940 in his honour. Most people don’t know that after WW2 the Government of the day said there was to be four racecourses in Metropolitan Melbourne: Williamstown, Caulfield, Flemington and Moonee Valley. However it was John Wren’s influence that had Williamstown close in 1949 after he purchased Sandown Racecourse the same year after it had been closed in 1931. Charles F Orr’s obituary was published by the Williamstown Chronicle on Saturday, November 14, 1931 and is available to this day in the National Library of Australia archives. “One of the pioneers of the shipwright and docking industry in Victoria, Mr Charles F. Orr, died on Thursday at his home in Toorak Road, Toorak, at the age of 85 years,” the obituary read. “After spending his boyhood in Hawthorn district, Mr. Orr settled in Williamstown, and became associated with Wright’s slip works there. “He went into partnership with Mr. Wright, and the business, in the name of Wright and Orr, was extended to Melbourne. “In racing circles, Mr. Orr was very highly esteemed. “He became a member of Williamstown Racing Club in 1871, and the following year was elected a member of the club’s committee. “During the troublous times the club went through some years later, Mr. Orr rendered valuable service. “He was Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary for many years. Finally as a footnote the Williamstown Racing Club was actually located in Altona. The C F Orr Stakes has been run at all four Melbourne Metropolitan Race Tracks – Flemington, Moonee Valley, Sandown and now the current home at Caulfield with the 2020 version running on this upcoming Saturday. Notable winners of the CF Orr Stakes include Heroic (1927), Gothic (1929), Mildura (1941), Flight (1946), Comic Court (1951), Rising Fast (1956), Lord (1959/1960), Wenona Girl (1962), Aquanita (1963), Tobin Bronze (1967), Winfreux (1968), Black Onyx (1971), All Shot (1974), Leilani (1975), Surround (1977), Hyperno (1978), Manikato (1979/1980/1981), At Talaq (1987), Vo Rogue (1988/1989/1990), Let’s Elope (1992), Durbridge (1993), Primacy (1994), Jeune (1995), Saintly (1997), Redoute’s Choice (2000), Lonhro (2004), Elvstroem (2005), El Segundo (2007), Maldivian (2009), Typhoon Tracy (2010/2011), Black Caviar (2012), All Too Hard (2013), Moment Of Change (2014), Dissident (2015), Black Heart Bart (2017) and Hartnell (2018).
