VJOKE

A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store. The parrot said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.” Well, the lady was furious! She stormed past the store to her office. On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.” She was incredibly ticked off now. The next day the same parrot again said to her, “Hey lady, you are really, really ugly.” The lady was so angry that she went into the store and warned the manager she would sue the store and kill the bird.  The store manager apologised profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn’t say it again. When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, “Hey lady.” She paused and said,”Yes?” The bird said, “You know!”…….

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. If you are new to VICBET send Tim a text and he will give you a free H2H wager up to $50……This is a novelty bet type so it is for the small players……

VFACTS 

The Group One Newmarket Handicap was first run in 1874 and was the brainchild of the the then VRC Committeeman and Chairman Fred Standish who has a Group 3 race named in his honour that is run on New Year’s Day. He wanted a six furlong (1,200 metres) race to add extra interest to the Melbourne Autumn Carnival. Apart from the Melbourne Cup it is the only other race at Flemington where 24 horses are permitted to race (However this year only 13). It has always been run at Flemington except in 2007 where it was run at Caulfield due to the refurbishment works. It is considered Australia’s premier sprint race. The shortest priced winner was Black Caviar in 2011 at 2/11 (for the old-timers) or $1.18. Bart is the most successful trainer with eight victories & Damien Oliver the most for a jockey with three. If anyone ever wanted to see an omen how many people would have backed the winner Century in the 100th running of the race in 1973? Some of the Stars of the Turf to have won the time-honoured race are Wakeful (1901), Heroic (1926), Ajax (1938), Bernborough (1946), Century (1973), Placid Ark (1987), Special (1988), Shaftesbury Avenue (1991), Schillaci (1992), Alinghi (2005), Takeover Target (2006), Miss Andretti (2007) and Black Caviar (2011)…
